Marguerite Gazeley writing in 1993 said, “Hearing poetry in performance for the first time was a great joy: poems by Merle Collins, Grace Nichols, John Agard, Lemn Sissay, Nailah which made me think, which called up so many emotions that I still search for words to express them. From a Cultureword poetry evening in 1987 I came to know of the many writing groups within Commonword and Cultureword. I give grateful thanks to all at Womanswrite for their inspiration, challenge and support. kindness and encouragement.” If you have more current information about her, please contact us using the details on the About page.
