Pat Borthwick lives in Yorkshire and has written three full-length collections of poetry, most recently Admiral FitzRoy’s Barometer (Templar Oct. 2008). She is renowned for her sparkling workshops and readings and has been a first prize-winner in many prestigious competitions including the Amnesty International, the Anglo Canadian Petra Kenney, the Italian Poetry on the Lake and The Blue Nose Poet of the Year. She was a winner in the Templar Pamphlet Competition 2007 with her pamphlet Wave.

Simon Armitage describes her work as being ‘that of a mapmaker with whose maps you can truly find your way’

Other quotes about her work and readings:

‘Pat is like a conjuror with real stars up her sleeve.’
                                                 Roger Garfitt, Poet

‘Anyone who doubts the ability of poetry to soothe, amuse and provoke should come and listen to Pat Borthwick read her work.’
                              Paul Willis, Senior Tutor Leeds Met

'Pat Borthwick is a crackling reader of her work, lifting the poems up off the page and wearing them like costumes, animating them and letting them animate her. She has more than one foot on that tricky bridge linking the page and stage and moves along it confidently.'
                                              A.F. Harrold,   Poet/Organiser/MC
