Clare Smith
Clare Smith grew up in Northern Ireland during The Troubles, a child of English Quakers who moved there just after she was born. She moved back to England at eighteen and became an award-winning health journalist with the BBC before turning to lecturing in journalism. With her husband, she raised two children. She was diagnosed autistic at fifty-seven - a revelation that forced her to re-examine her life. By then, she had moved with her husband to rural Norfolk and switched to volunteering. Her first poetry anthology, Outside Looking In, was published in 2022.
