August 2009:
I have self-published my first book of poetry,
Songs from the Big Blue, at lulu.com.
To preview or buy this book, please click here.
I started writing poetry about 20 years ago now. I have no formal training in poetry writing, being a science university graduate, so what I write is just how it comes.
There is a feeling of natural history and environmental issues which runs through most of my poetry and, although I am a little influenced by WB Yeats and Ted Hughes, I am perhaps more influenced by music.
As I have just published some poetry, I have included just a few samples of my work here. I will occasionally update this list as I write more but I am working on two other poetry volumes for future publication through Lulu.
Please do not use my poetry without my permission. Thank you.
You can contact me through the link on this page.
