I’m a writer, educator, and poetry geek in Birmingham, England. I wouldn’t claim the title of poet for myself, but that’s what other people call me. Poetry is in my bones.
I fell in love with poetry in my mid-teens, but didn’t really start writing it for another twenty years – nearly three decades ago. Nore recently, I’ve written fiction, memoir, reflective pieces and lyric essays. You can read some of my poems here or order a copy of my book, A Place to Keep My Shadow
I’m available for events as a performer, writer, or creative writing facilitator. I have many years’ experience of performing poetry (both my own, and stuff by dead poets that I know by heart) and of facilitating writing groups. I also facilitate individual writers in various ways. Feel free to get in touch.
