"The Blood on the Bramble is an invitation to see the world through a bard's eyes... Molly merges folklore, introspection, and sharp observation that invites you into a world where the boundaries between myth and reality blur, where nature becomes a mirror for human emotion. This is a celebration of female strength, ancestral memory, and the enduring power of storytelling Molly's poetry, set my heart racing and left me gasping for air." Peter Roe: Poet, Grand Bard of Caer Dur.

For me, poetry is about noticing and sharing moments - how light moves, how people speak, the way feelings catch in your chest. It doesn’t need to be clever or polished. It just needs to be authentic to how you feel in the moment. It’s a way of saying: I saw this. I felt this. Maybe you did too.
