A fifth poetry collection is due for publication in 2009. Cathy’s most recent project was with VIVA East Midlands Orchestra and the National Trust, writing the libretto for an oratorio about the life of Bess of Hardwick, More Glass Than Wall, which involved collaboration with composer James Redwood and work in 6 Derbyshire schools, culminating in performances at Derby Assembly Rooms and Hardwick Hall. She is currently starting a new role as Consultant to the Derbyshire Mental Health Reading Project, and also attempting to write a novel!
