    Katy Pitsi

    I was born in Cheltenham in 1968, and moved to Bristol when I was three months old. After leaving home aged eighteen, I had several different jobs and lived in various shared houses and flats. I also lived in New York in 1987 for one year, working as an au-pair. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 1994, and since leaving full time work, I have had various voluntary jobs, mainly working in charity shops the closest thing to my love of working with the general public. Currently single, I have been living for the past twelve years in a 1930s ground floor flat.

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.
