CREATIVE WRITING
POETRY
I write poetry for publication and performance: as song-lyrics and for exhibition in visual art forms of my own creation, or in collaboration with others.
I have performed at literary and arts festivals including Ways With Words at Dartington, Torbay Poetry Festival, Glastonbury Festival of Performing Arts, Larmer Tree Festival, Croissant Neuf Summer party, and the Electric Picnic, Ireland. Also at many cabaret, fund-raising, open-mike, and rural events in the South West of England and elsewhere.
I also run poetry and creative writing workshops, classes and courses, both as a freelance artist and as an employee of The Workers Education Association. Details and dates of all courses, classes and workshops are in the 'events' section of this site.
I am employed for work in schools through a number of agencies including DAISI, Apples and Snakes, and RIO.
I am a committee member of 'Moor Poets' which is a community based, poetry training and development network.

Occasionally, I organise independent poetry events with other poets, and participate in collaborations. I occasionally perform with published poet Mim Darlington, as literary duo 'The Honey Tongues', and previously, with performance poet Dennis Just Dennis as 'The Poets Political Party'.

wonderfully accessible, life-affirming poet with great range, bold
imagery, warmth and wit. I'd recommend anyone to listen to Lucy
Lepchani'

SHORT FICTION
I
also write short stories for publication, most notably ‘The Monarch’,
publ. in anthology ‘Shoe Fly Baby’, Bloomsbury, 2004, and which won
second place in the Asham Literary Awards 2003/4; and ‘Emma’s World,’
accepted for ‘My Weekly’ magazine 2004. Earlier short stories 'The
Family Tree' and 'Ancient Thera' have also won honourable mentions in
the Library of Avalon short story competition.
I am currently working (slowly!) towards completing an anthology of short stories and a first novel.
