Education. After a teaching exchange to Edith Cowan University in Perth, Australia, Morgan

in Houses [Bloodaxe, 2005], described by John Burnside as "poetry of the first order by a poet
who really knows how to sing", was largely inspired by her time caretaking a run-down Edwardian
house in Goring-on-Thames, Oxfordshire. As well as freelance teaching and editing work which has
taken her all over the country and the world, Morgan is currently Historic Recordings Manager for
