"The squat pen rests" (Heaney)

Hi! I'm a Scot living in England with my musician/publisher husband and three grown up kids. I've taught English and Drama all my working life. I've had some great times but, this Summer I'm quitting teaching for good.

I'm setting out on another journey of life discovery so - not quite sure what I'll be doing 'to bring home the bacon' but I'm definitely going to write more poetry.

As Heaney (one of my favourite poets) says,

"Between my finger and my thumb
The squat pen rests.
I'll dig with it."
