Born in Canada, Pamela Bakker lived in England from 1990 to 2004. After completing her PhD at The University of Sheffield in contemporary British feminist theatre (specifically the work of Sarah Daniels), she decided to forgo an academic career and started working for BBC Radio 3, classical music being another of her great loves. She was diagnosed with M.E/C.F.S in 1999 and was one of the 25% of sufferers most severely affected. For three years she was unable to read or even hold a pen. After 10 years in London, she moved to the peace and calm of Lincolnshire. Once her strength began to return she experienced an outpouring of poetry - a medium in which she had never before experimented. After years of enforced silence she has finally found her voice - one which springs always from the heart and focuses on her childhood, ongoing illness, and other aspects of life.  In 2004 Pamela moved back to her home country of Canada.
