She studied Poetry and Drama at the University of East Anglia, England, and enjoys the lyrics of artists such as Nina Simone, Joni Mitchell, Carole King, Joan Baez and Kate Bush. Azalea composed a book of poetry entitled Maiden, Mother, Other following the birth of her two children and her survival with entrenched post-natal depression through their early years. Azalea's romantic adventures which began at WOMAD in 2014 are chronicled in Postponing The Crone, Sweet Reprieve and Emotional Whiplash and Up Next. This volume, Cut Short, represents a compilation of some of Azalea's personal favourites from the four above. For readers interested in the context of these poems there are four context books entitled Either Ways Yours, Further More Yours, Finally Mine and Soul Searching which give the prosaic context of the same story, primarily through text messages, emails and prose.
