Lucy Anderson

Lucy Anderson studied Creative Writing at The University of Leicester. She has worked collaboratively with artists and for community projects and taught creative writing in library and museum settings and, for Hospital and Outreach Education, for tudents with health challenges.

Lucy has been long-listed for Bridport 2007, published in Brittle Star 2014, The Interpreter's House 2014, and Under the Radar with Nine Arches 2015. Lucy was awarded a mentorship with Cinnamon Press 2016

Born into difficulties, Lucy was an 'observer' from early on and channelled this into her psychodynamic therapy background and later in her poetry. Personal challenges and her fascination with people motivate her continued explorations of the human condition 'past to present' with themes of mental health, gender and loss. Her poems make a direct, yet tender comment on the human condition and hope to break down taboo and isolation.
