Over the last fifteen years I’ve written uncountable numbers of poems. Some of them have seen publication in magazines including Envoi, Iota, Reach, The Lighthouse, Staple, Poetry Life, Agenda and nthposition. I’ve won a couple of prizes too.

I think I would happily see my non-fiction books go out of print if, in exchange, I could write just one truly great poem that would stand the test of time. Greatness, though, is not really the point. Neither is publication. Truth is the point; truth and a sense of connection to something larger than myself; to The Source, if you like.
If this sounds like pretentious rubbish, you should probably pop over to the journalism section of this website, which has Facts on it and may make you feel more comfortable. If you’re sticking around, some of my current favourites are below.
Most of these poems are taken from Kidland, my debut collection, which was published in April 2011. You can read more about that – and buy it – by clicking on the book cover on the right.
