Hello!

I’m Josephine Corcoran, a writer based in west Wiltshire. This free-to-read newsletter is a place where I share notes and ideas about my creative life. My poetry pamphlets and collections are Six Poems (a handmade zine); Love and Stones (Live Canon, 2023); One Deliberate Red Dress Time I Shone (Coast-to-Coast-to Coast, 2023); What Are You After? (Nine Arches Press, 2018); The Misplaced House (tall-lighthouse, 2014). My radio play The Songs that Houses Sing – The House in Tamworth Park was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 and Radio 4Extra. My stage play Jocasta was produced at The Chelsea Theatre, London. My short story Algebra, winner of the Ian St James Award in 1996, was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 and Radio 4Extra.

In late October 2024, a small health issue made me decide to give up running a poetry group (Trowbridge Stanza) and teaching writing workshops in Bradford on Avon but I’ll still share local poetry news as I hear about it. Please email Nina Parmenter ninaparmenter@hotmail.co.uk if you would like to find out more about Trowbridge Stanza.
