Her poem "Help me, love" has been published in the Jawbone Journal, and "Heart of Glass" was longlisted for
the Bournemouth Writing Prize 2026.
A performer at “LitFest 26: SOS Sounds of the Solent”, Marbellys hosts "Be Poetry", a community poetry
workshop on the first Friday of every month and is a regular at poetry events in Dorset.
