Lesley Curwen is a poet and sailor living in Devon. She writes about damage, loss and rescues of all kinds. Her poetic understanding has been helped by her work as a BBC broadcaster, interviewing people from many countries, weighing and editing their words on screen.

Lesley’s poem Views of Greenland From Seat 39A is published by Arachne in our 2021 Solstice Shorts anthology, Words From the Brink.
