Morney Wilson: Collected Works

Morney Shayne Wilson was born on April 3, 1969 in Scotland. She studied at Fortismere School and graduated in English Literature from the University of Sussex. She worked as an administration officer at Middlesex University. Morney's poems featured on several websites before her collection of poems was published as I Am The Blast From Your Past. The singer/songwriter Barry Crawford has set several of her poems to music in albums produced as The Morney Set (2008) and Morn (2011), some first included in her posthumous poetry collection Martyr Doll. Her prose has been collected in the volume Remains, both of these along with The Recordings were first edited and published by Rehan Qayoom. Morney Wilson died in London in November 2010. 4 of her poems were published in Plath Profiles 4, the interdisciplinary journal for Sylvia Plath studies. She was very excited about their being accepted just before her death. In 2017 Gail Crowther published her thesis The Haunted Reader and Sylvia Plath in which she made a thorough examination of Morney's response to Plath.
