🇬🇧 Wendy Gould  (b. 1959)
I grew up in Skegness, surrounded by fairground lights, summer visitors and long walks by the sea. The beach became my place to escape, somewhere I could think and simply be myself.
Later, when my health began to limit my mobility, writing took on a new meaning for me. In 1994, I happened to read the story of a man in a magazine and, deeply moved by what he had been through, I wrote a poem. At the time, I had no idea that those few lines would go on to change my life.
