Inspired by John Keats, Ernest Hemingway, Bernard Shaw, Confucius and William Shakespeare, Louise has been writing poetry for three years. Born in Nelson, New Zealand to English parents, Louise and her family soon moved to Auckland. A career in International Banking led her to London where she worked and enjoyed the proximity to Europe and its fascinating art and history. More recently Louise gained a diploma in music & management, working as Publicist and P.A. to Music Promoter and renown guitarist Gray Bartlett. Poetry soon followed and became her favourite pastime. http://www.louisehaywardbooks.com
