She completed her first two short poetry collections A Long Way to China and Flicked Wrists and Ragas after travelling in Asia during 2008. She started seriously considering writing poetry after attending an Arvon Foundation course under Iranian poet Mimi Khalvati, who inspired her to incorporate traditional poetic forms into her work.
