Hélène’s collection The Plumb Line takes us on a journey through childhood, motherhood, and her relationships with ageing and dying parents.
Her unflinching gaze juxtaposes the everyday with the raw, disturbing and visionary.
Her poems express a tenderness towards both the loved and unloved parts of our human existence.
Hélène has been a practising psychotherapist for the last 25 years and she is a boarding school survivor. The book has a number of boarding school poems in it.
