'Active in the poetry scene, Jude Aquilina performs her work at festivals, hotels and schools. Knifing the Ice, her first collection of poetry, was published by Wakefield Press in 2000.

''Jude Aquilina writes a poetry that is rich with the feel and texture of the things of everyday life: fruit and vegetables, cats, streets, houses, churches, pubs and the people she knows, meets or cannily observes. In a lively and evocative language, and with an exploratory use of form, she reveals the inner lives and the interconnectedness of so much that we take for granted.' - Andrew Taylor' (Publication summary)
