Alison Lock is the author of four collections of poetry, two short story collections, a novella, as well as contributor to several anthologies. Her writing focuses on the relationship of humans and the environment, connecting an inner world with a love of nature. Her latest publication, Lure, Calder Valley Poetry, 2020, is about the journey to recovery from a traumatic accident (featured on BBC Radio 3 Between the Ears). Her experience of Life Writing for Transformation – a course she co-facilitates at Woodbrooke – helped her to write about the accident and the healing process.
