Farah Begum-Baig has been writing poetry since she was 6. She was educated at Newcastle University and Trinity Hall, Cambridge. She was involved in medical research and teaching at Cambridge University and contributed to radio, TV and books. Her career has combined medical research, complementary medicine, scientific and creative writing.

For many years she lived in a cottage on Hadrian’s Wall with her sculptor husband; focusing on writing poetry, plays and films. She still lives within sight of the wall, which remains a tangible presence in her physical and mental landscape.
