About me

Anneliese Emmans DeanI grew up in York in the north of England, then read Modern and Medieval Languages at Cambridge University.

My working life has revolved around the sound and meaning of words. I have worked as a phonetician for the Oxford English Dictionary, as a translator (e.g. for the High Court in London and for a former French President), and as an editor of academic and educational books. I have also taught a total of four languages in five different countries to people from 5 to 65 years old.

And all along, I have written. My poems have won prizes, and been used by other people and projects for over 15 years. I now use them myself, in live shows and workshops that I have developed for a range of adult and child audiences. In 2007, due to popular demand, I released the first CD of my poems.

The advent of digital photography opened up a whole new dimension in my work. I won a prize in the first photography competition I entered (in 2007), and as a result was invited by the Woodland Trust to become a Volunteer Photographer for them. My photographs have also been published in the media and in the scientific literature, as well as in my Buzzing! CD booklet, calendar and cards.

I set up and run theBigBuzz on the permaculture principles of Earth Care, Fair Share, People Care.

So far in 2008 I have won:
