Alyson grew up in Street, Somerset and currently lives in the remote north Devon village of Hartland.
After a wide variety of jobs including mental health, postwoman and housekeeper on the Isle of Iona she gained a distinction in her M.A. in creative writing at Bath Spa in 1993.
Her first full collection of poems, The Stone Library, has just been published by Peterloo Poets. Other publications include a book of short stories, The Heart’s Elliptical Orbit (Solidus Press), 365 (Agre Press) and artist’s books made in collaboration with Penelope Downes (Towards Intimacy and in the time of crow). She has written an afternoon play for Radio 4 (Dear Gerald) and short scripts for Sky Television (Agony).
Public art projects include text for a stained glass window in Bradley Stoke Library, Bristol and a poem that has been carved into Milsom Street pavement in Bath. Alyson’s ongoing project, The Migration Habits of Stone, involves siting pieces of stone with words carved into them in different parts of the world. The first stone is in Leigh Woods, Bristol, the second in a retreat centre in Massachusetts, U.S.A and the third is going to Koonawarra, Australia in 2008.
Alyson has recently completed a three year poet-in-residence post at The Small School in Hartland. Previous residencies include Visiting Writer at the University of the West of England, Writer-in-Residence at South West Arts for Year of the Artist and numerous other residencies in community settings. She teaches poetry at the Arvon Foundation and has taught fiction on the Diploma in Creative Writing at Bristol University.
