A keen Coventry resident and pro-active in the community, Leanne Bridgewater is a poet and artist.
Shortlisted for the 2015 Melita Hume poetry award; her first poetry collection ‘Confessions of a Cyclist’ has recently been published by Knives Forks and Spoons Press. The book is a poetic surveillance into Coventarian’s conservations as one passes folk on a bike, to and from work, from one side of Coventry to the other.
Her heart lies in the environment, eco-poetry, language poetry and last but most exciting: visual poetry, sometimes called ‘asemic writing’, where words and art blend and become one: a vision.
