For several years she taught in a special school for adolescent traveller children.

Her sixth collection, Donegal Tarantella, was issued by Carcanet Press in 2019.

In her poems, history, archaeology, prehistoric art, geology and music figure as gateways to a deeper understanding of our relationship with the earth and with our past.

She has been invited to read in Ireland, Europe, the Americas (North and South), Japan and India.

Bilingual selections of her work have been published in Spanish, Portuguese, and German.
