I'm a native Bristolian who's never managed to get away for long. I write poetry (mostly), and enjoy walking about a bit with my border collie, Cwtch.
I have four collections of poetry, Communion (2011), Map Reading For Beginners (2014), Breadcrumbs (2016), and The Shadow Factory (2019), all published by Indigo
Dreams. My novel, Dart, about
life on Dartmoor during the Black Death, was published under their Tamar Books
imprint in 2013. All are available from the Indigo Dreams website, Amazon and good independent bookshops.
My fifth collection, Learning Finity, will be published by Indigo Dreams in early 2022.
As well as my personal writing and poetry readings, I am a member of the IsamBards, four Bristol-based poets who write site-specific poems and conduct poetry walks around the locality, and of Strange Cargo, a group of seven West Country poets performing improvised readings.
Together with Colin Brown, former Director of Poetry Can, I am co-founder of the Leaping Word poetry consultancy, offering mentoring, editorial advice and support to poets, educational establishments and community groups.
We also offer a professional counselling service to writers and artists engaging with personal experience in their work.
