She is a very experienced reader and has given many readings in all kinds of venues at home and abroad.

She is a translator with a special interest in Latin American poetry and prose. She would be happy to read and talk about her translations in a separate reading from her own poetry.

Dinah ran the well-known Camden Voices Poetry Group from 1978 to 1998, to whom her Poetry Handbook for Readers and Writers (Macmillan 1992) is dedicated. She can offer poetry and translation workshops.

Her most recent prose book, The Poetry of Earth , is an essay on poetry, language, theology, politics and ecology, attempting a down-to-earth ('katabasic') poetic. She has given talks and seminars based on this book in a variety of venues, which have stimulated fruitful and enjoyable discussions, and welcomes further invitations.
