‘Heidi’s group has been an excellent stimulus and challenge to my writing over the past few years. She runs the sessions in a very inclusive and encouraging way, whilst also presenting new perspectives and ideas. The ‘craft’ segments have regularly introduced me to new avenues to pursue, often resulting in new pieces of writing, or new (to me) poets to investigate. I feel sure I’ll be back in the future.’
