About Emily Wills
Emily Wills is a British poet who lives in Gloucestershire where she works as a GP. She won the Frogmore prize in 2012 and 2013. She is the author of two collections, Diverting the Sea (2000) and Developing the Negative (2008), and a pamphlet, Unmapped (2014), all published by The Rialto. Her poetry has been widely published, and I enjoy facilitating workshops, especially for people who don’t think they can write, or even like, poetry. She have done workshops and residences in various arts and health care settings, and used poems and reflective writing to teach GPs in training. She have been also a poet in residence at Gloucester crematorium and at the International Conference on Death, Dying and Disposal. (I gather there has been much debate about the third ‘D’ but no-one as yet has come up with anything better). These experiences, in addition to her experience of working in health care, continue to feed into her current writing. Since retirement, She have trained in Restorative Justice and now work as a volunteer with Restorative Gloucestershire.Browse all poems and texts published on Emily Wills
