Greta has been a poetry tutor for over 25 years, having taught at Morley College in London, Goldsmiths College, University of London and Bath Spa University. She has been Writer in Residence at Exeter University and Poetry Fellow at Warwick University. She lives in Devon.

‘The Poetry School has helped me to find a way of going deeper into the poem-writing process; I have learnt how to read other poets' poems and have gained more knowledge about how to give feedback and receive it. The feedback I was given by the tutor was very useful and helped me become a critic of my own work.’
