Warwick Poet Laureate 2010 - 2011

We are delighted that Olga Dermott-Bond has been crowned Poet Laureate.

Olga has been writing for pleasure since she was a girl...  Originally from Northern Ireland, she now lives in Warwick - she is married and has a young daughter.

She read for an M.A. in English Literature at St. Andrews University.  As a teacher of Drama and English at Rugby High School, she loves the creativity of her job!

Having dabbled in writing short scripts over the last few years, she has recently returned to poetry. Her poems are concerned with a wide range of themes; many of them explore ideas of memory and change.
