Trévien's first pamphlet, Low-Tide Lottery, was published by Salt in 2011.[3] It was followed by the publication of her first collection The Shipwrecked House in 2013 by Penned in the Margins. This collection was voted the reader's choice and longlisted in the Guardian First Book Award.[4] A poem from the collection was also highly commended in the Forward Prizes for Poetry 2014. The collection was widely reviewed in Poetry London,[5] The Warwick Review,[6] For Books' Sake,[7] in numerous blogs,[8][9][10][11][12] as well as on YouTube.[13]

Her poetry has appeared in numerous newspaper, magazines and anthologies including The Guardian,[14] The Sunday Times,[15] and Best British Poetry 2012.[16] She was on the Huffington Post's list of 5 British Poets to Watch in 2014.[17]

Trévien's collection The Shipwrecked House was co-commissioned by Ledbury Poetry Festival as a one-woman show and is touring the UK in the autumn of 2014, funded by the Arts Council.[18]

On 22 November, Trévien wrote 100 poems in a day, raising over £600 for chosen charity Refuge (United Kingdom charity).[19]
