Four-square in the tradition of Wordsworth and Coleridge in using everyday language, Joolz describes her work as 'character-driven, dramatic, and often tragic'. In the poems and miniature narratives of Errors of the Spirit, her fourth collection, she illuminates how ordinary people cope with extraordinary situations, and deal with anger, loss, violence, death, friendship and love. Very different is her long poem Grendel, revealing her interest in old narrative forms as well as literary manifestations of the 'monster'. Joolz's commitment to narrative brought her the first New Crime Writer Award from the Crime Writers' Association in 1998 for Stone Baby, recently published by HarperCollins.
