Beth Brooke is a retired teacher and education consultant. Before retirement her writing was focused on pedagogy and she wrote collaboratively with a number of colleagues to produce textbooks and teachers' resources for Key Stage English and History, published by John Murray, Hodder and Collins. Born in the Middle East, she spent the bulk of her childhood in Germany and Libya and her experiences there have had a profound influence on her life. Although she now lives in Dorset and loves the Jurassic Coast, she still longs for the desert. Much of her poetry focuses on the interaction between the self and the landscape and how landscape shapes us. She has been published in a variety of journals both online and print, including The York Literary Review, Poetry Bus and Marble. Her poem, We Take Our Son To University, was awarded a very highly commended in the 2021 Folklore Poetry Prize. This poem features in her Hedgehog Press debut collection, Landscape With Birds. She has also been published in the Gloucester Poetry Festival's Pandemic Anthology. She is a regular host and performer at her local spoken word venue and has run a number of poetry workshops. Her superpower is the ability to remove ticks from hedgehogs (no, seriously, she can!)
