Natalie Williams, author of Jeremy Mills Publishing’s newest poetry publication Daydreams in Mermaid Grass, will be hosting book signings on 28th February 2009 at Borders in Cheshire Oaks and 14th March 2009 at Borders in Warringto.
Natalie was born in April 1981 in Harare, Zimbabwe. One of three children, she began her creative career at an early age, winning a Honours Eistedford Award for her poem, 'The Thicket and The Musgrove'. She has been published in various literary journals, both online and in print, and was featured in the Zimbabwean newspaper for her poem in her native language Ndebele, 'Bayete Amanzi' (Bring Us Water), prompted by the three year long drought experienced by Zimbabweans from 1995-1998.
Natalie’s debut published poetry collection, entitled Daydreams in Mermaid Grass was inspired by the city of Liverpool, Capital of Culture 2008. In her verse, Natalie summons up the world of Bracken, a mesmerising realm populated by fantastical creatures. Serpent dragons journeying on quests that reflect all wrongdoing, princesses clothed in darkness and the enigmatic 'Speaker' are just some of the treasures that await. Her key inspirations include the Chronicles of Narnia and Tolkien's Lord of the Rings.
