Greta published her first book of poems, At Home in the Dark (Anvil), in 2001 and her second, Salvation Jane (Anvil), in 2008. Her third book, Alive Alive O (Bloodaxe, 2015), was shortlisted for the Roehampton Poetry Prize 2016. She lives in Devon and teaches for the Poetry School and the Arvon Foundation. In 2018 her work Who’s There?, a radio piece tackling the topic of dementia through an interweaving of word, sound and music, first broadcast on BBC Radio 4’s Echo Chamber, was shortlisted for the The Ted Hughes Award for New Work in Poetry.
‘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.’
