I am a writer, conflict coach and accredited mediator, with a particular interest in the natural world and Israel/Palestine.

I am Emeritus Professor of Creative Writing at Swansea University, and a Fellow of the Learned Society of Wales.

My work has appeared in the New York Times Modern Love column, in the Guardian and the London Magazine, and my short story ‘Theft’ was shortlisted for the Royal Society of Literature’s VS Pritchett Memorial Prize in 2016. I am a regular commentator in the broadcast media, and contribute to BBC Radio 4’s Tweet of the Day.

My books include an essay collection, Birdsplaining: a Natural History, which won the New Welsh Writing Award; a memoir, Losing Israel, which won Wales Non-fiction Book of the Year; a monograph, Whose People? Wales, Israel, Palestine; a biography, The Greatest Need, and two poetry collections: Self-Portrait as Ruth, and Misappropriations, which was shortlisted for the Jerwood Aldeburgh First Collection Prize.
