Edna Eglinton

From London, Essex, Hampshire, I finally settled in Devon 20 years ago, led here by association with The Arvon Foundation. I was secretary of the Friends of the Arvon Foundation for several years.

I started writing while in Portsmouth, after my husband had died and my children were settled in their own homes, and where I belonged to the Portsmouth Poetry Society (among other things). After moving to Devon I became part of the Company of Poets until a few years ago, when I needed to slow down a bit.

I have had work published in many magazines and anthologies, including children's books, won a few prizes and made it to the runner-up list of several competitions.

Two booklets of my poems, How are your Spirits? and Forever Panto, are published by the Old School Press Bondleigh, as is Hands Together, a shared collection with David Santer.
