Jo Heather Jo Heather was born in South Africa, coming to England when still too young to have any exotic memories. Her parents, both from the West Country, returned to their roots and she grew up in Devon. She graduated from Leeds, where she read English, in 1966. After several years in London, where she worked in the East End and qualified in psychiatric social work, she came back north to Middlesbrough where she worked, for the most part, as an ASW attached to St. Luke’s Hospital. Since early retirement she has lived on the edge of the North York Moors with her husband, with whom she shares three children. They sometimes read her poetry, hoping it’s not about them. |
