First, a brief introduction.
I am a poet and writer living in Stevenage, Hertfordshire and I hope you enjoy your visit to this Wetpaint wiki.
I have been writing on and off for about thirty years, but I have not done much of note until recently. My early influences were Ted Hughes and T. S. Eliot. Later, I came to appreciate the work of e. e. cummings and this in turn led me to better understand the work of more avant garde poets like J. H. Prynne, whose work I admire.
Since joining the Letchworth poetry group Poetry I. D., my outp
ut has increased and so, I hope, has the quality of my work. Since then, the group has become the Poetry Society's Stanza for North Hertfordshire. More can be read about Stanzas by visiting the Poetry Society's website (see links).
I have had poems published in various magazines, including First Time, Envoi, Dream Catcher, Quantum leap, The Black Mountain Review, among others and, more recently, The Frogmore Papers.
On the 6th July 2007 I made my TV debut on BBC Look East, reading a poem for Formula 1 racing driver Lewis Hamilton that was specially commissioned by the BBC.
Latest News. On the 2nd February 2011 I was interviewed by Ronnie Barbour on BBC Three Counties radio in a feature called 'First Lines'. The programme was broadcast across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire and it went really well, so well in fact that they would like me to do it again.
My new collection, This is not a Sonnet, has recently been published by Survivors' Press in London (ISBN 798-1-874595-25-0). This collection of thirty-eight poems includes some of my earlier work and is available from Survivors Press, Studio 11, Bickerton House, 25 - 27 Bickerton Road, London N19 5JT.
I have also written a lengthy marginal science fiction mystery novel, The Cylinder, which is now available via Amazon, or through leading book stores (ISBN 978-1-84923-930-1). It tells the story of what happens when a mysterious cylindrical object is unearthed during an archaeological dig and the psychological effect it has on those who come too close to it.

I look forward to receiving visitors. Please come again. In time, more poetry and, I hope, some prose will be added. This is only the beginning.
