Sheila Hillier was appointed Professor of Medical Sociology in 1992. She is currently Visiting Professor at the Chinese University Hong Kong and Professor Emeritus at Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry. Her poems have been commended in The National Poetry Competition, and she won the prestigious Hamish Canham prize from the Poetry Society in 2009. Her debut collection was shortlisted for the Aldeburgh First Collection Prize. She was chosen by Sasha Dugdale to appear in The Best British Poetry 2012.
Sheila writes with a great clarity that is also mysterious; we can understand exactly what she is saying and are thus free to wonder about and to enjoy the tantalizing deeper meanings and resonances. The themes and settings for her narrative-based poems are often surprising but they are vivid and engaging. What's more, the poems themselves are tightly shaped and crafted. - Mike Bartholomew-Biggs
