As an English teacher, Bridget Somekh served on the Children’s Committee for the Cambridge Poetry Festival in 1985. She moved into Educational Research and was a Professor at Manchester Met University until 2008. In 2019 she published a sequence of poems on John Clare in Love’s Cold Returning (with Ellis Hall); and in 2020 three poems with Hybrid Press. Her new collection, Objects of Desire, 2025, reinvents the memoir, weaving poetry, images, and reflection into a meditation on life, love, and loss. Many of her poems have had their first public performance at CB1 Poetry’s Open Mic!
