Hello, and welcome!

Thank you for visiting Poetic Licence, I’m Zivah, and I’m delighted to welcome you here.

As the name of my newsletter suggests, I mostly write poetry, but I also write fiction, prose and thoughts on life, the universe and everything. It depends on my mood, what inspires me, where I am and what I’m doing.

The main point is that I love to write. I always have, as far back as I can remember. My mum still has some short stories I wrote when I was little, mostly focused on boarding school escapades. I still dream of midnight feasts!

For 2025, I have big writing plans. To write a poetry collection (or two, maybe). To submit work to magazines and journals. To commit myself more fully to my writing career.

I’ll be delighted if you decide to join me on my journey. The more the merrier!

At some point, I might decide to put work behind a paywall - this will likely be related to the poetry collection I have in mind. Most of my writing will remain free, although if you want to subscribe and support me financially before then, that would be wonderful! I will be eternally grateful.
