Christine MageeChristine Magee writes beautiful, gentle poems that are deeply personal and evocative. She had hoped to pursue a career in singing, but as an adult developed epilepsy and could no longer perform. Poetry became her voice. Christine has written hundreds of poems, and her work has been published in various literary journals, including the Taj Mahal Review. She has three adult children and lives in the English county of Shropshire.

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
