What happens when the loves in your life are on a collision course?

And faith raises more questions than it answers?

Ben and Harriet don’t remember meeting each other. Their parents were friends long before either of them existed.

An old photo proves there was a beginning: Ben, as a toddler, beaming as he holds a squirming new-born. That was nearly eighteen years ago.

Except, Ben can’t see that Harriet is in love with him. And Harriet has no idea Ben wants to become a monk.

All the Truths Between Us is a celebration of the forces that shape us – belief and love, conflict and grief, creativity and nature – and of adapting when life has other plans.

Poetry keeps me honest. There's nothing like the prospect of standing in front of people with a microphone to help me consider what I really want to put out into the world. A lovely honour to perform at 'Verse in the Vaults' @southamptonmusicintheci
September helps me welcome expansion. It's my birthday month, the start of each new academic year, the month I became a mother for the first time. Coming back round to old routines, old uniforms - it helps expose what no longer fits. September sa
Thinking about the web of relationships we each give birth to (humans, projects - all the myriad ways that can apply). Thinking about complexity and patience and how tenderness can seem so... optional... when, arguably, it's very often the difference
