Christine Magee had hoped to pursue a career in singing. However, as an adult she developed epilepsy and could no longer perform. Poetry became her voice. She has written hundreds of poems; and her work has been published in various literary journals, including the Taj Mahal Review, as well as on her website, Before the Rains Come. She is married with three adult children and lives in the English county of Shropshire.
“Poetry became an escape from living within the confines of a misunderstood illness. Adjustments had to be made by me and my loved ones, and many doors have been closed. I’m often too frightened to step through them, but I’m now more able to embrace life and draw inspiration from the world in a broader sense.” —Christine Magee
