Isobel is a former theatrical costumier, working in Covent Garden and for Dino de Laurentis on Flash Gordon before starting a family. For many years she was Editor of Poems in the Waiting Room, a task that was nowhere near as easy as it sounds. The publication had excessively stringent editorial guidelines; no one was to be upset. GPs are there to make people feel better and treatment should start in the waiting room!
Her 2020 card told us that PitWR is moving on line and Isobel has written a poem for the last printed edition titled HEARTH.
Isobel is the archivist for the Martin Shaw Trust. Martin is #399.
