Deirdre Hines

Deirdre Hines is an award-winning poet and playwright. She lives on the edge of fable with her seven cats and time-travelling father.

As a child she roamed forests and seashores having adventures, which she recorded in her Nature Diaries. Her first book of poetry, The Language of Coats was published by New Island Books and was a bestseller. The Mermelf – A Fable for Our Times came to her in a dream while holidaying at Gwythian in Cornwall.
