This month’s poem is by Tina Baker. ‘Childhood Clips’ is included in the group’s anthology “Off the Wall” available from Amazon, and you can hear Tina read it by visiting her page on the group website here.
Tina began writing as a young child and loved to create puppet plays which she performed in her front garden in the hope of entertaining passersby.
As an adult, she had a variety of jobs, including the design and production of technical manuals, assisting an editor in the heady world of publishing occupational health and safety journals and, finally, organising major events.
Later in life, she remembered the pleasure of creating stories, so she undertook a two-year creative writing course, and this encouraged her to write her first novel, which she hopes to be published, one day.
