After working in the Alumni & Development Office here at Christ's Helen is leaving to take up the position of poet in residence at the Wordsworth Trust, Grasmere.  As part of the residency scheme, poets at a crucial stage in their career are given a stipend and the use of a cottage just round the corner from Dove Cottage, where William Wordsworth lived when he wrote much of his greatest poetry.  Here they are given time and space to develop their craft.

Helen will be resident at the Trust from the beginning of July.
