About Gill McEvoyHer first pamphlet "Uncertain Days" (Happenstance Press 2006) earned a positive mention in the PBS bulletin; her third "The First Telling", also from Happenstance, won the 2015 Michael Marks Award. Two collections from Cinnamon Press: "The Plucking Shed", 2010 and "Rise", 2013. Hawthornden Fellow 2012. After many years of organising poetry events in Chester where she then lived, Gill moved to Devon. She is passionate about wildlife and is now a very active member of Bee-wild, a local group involved in planting flowers and shrubs for pollinators in her neighbourhood, and this not only benefits insects but also brightens up the village!
