Hello and Welcome 

I began writing whilst studying at Queen's University, Belfast and enjoyed publishing success with many of my early poems and reviews. I returned to writing again after a very long absence and have been featured in a variety of poetry anthologies including  The Poet's Place and Moment (Poetry in Motion - Community Arts Partnership), The Sea (Rebel Poetry, Ireland), all five editions of Washing Women - Irish Women Write Poetry and Her Other Language (Arlen House) and literary journal The Honest Ulsterman. I have also been a reader at Poetry NI's Purely Poetry open mics in Belfast. I also write reviews. 

Launch of SOJOURN at Crescent Arts Centre Belfast

It was a great pleasure to welcome both Colin Dardis, Poetry NI  and Ruth Carr, Poet  as speakers to help me celebrate the launch of SOJOURN, together with friends and associates at the Crescent Arts Centre, Belfast.

"A poetic exploration of life's most powerful moments - with grace, clarity  and unforgettable imagery"

Christine is an artist with words. Each poem reads like a film, drawing the reader into moments that feel precious and intimate. Reading her poems is an immersive experience, complete with its own mood and aesthetic.

I could sense the pull and time of memories "like a reel of film" as  I journeyed through Christine's debut collection

GERALDINE DARDIS O'KANE, POET

Christine's poetry resonates with emotion and her different reactions to life's helter skelter journey of the good, the bad but never the indifferent. A tender, moving and occasionally amusing reflection on the ride.
