Hello.

I write poetry. You can read some on this website. I also write short stories, screenplays and professional copy.

If you'd like to read more of my work, feel free to email me. I can send something that may interest you.

I also have a blog.

Please ask me questions.

These are from my collection International Calls.

Black and yellow stripes taped

on torn worn carpet.


Red plastic leather

fades into metal chairs.


A man cross-legged reading

and fingers reach for

champagne stems.

I was in the charity shop buying

a book when in front of me I saw

this man who was about fifty-three

and he was buying a video cassette

and a pair of girl's tap shoes and I

thought to myself 'why would this

old man want a pair of girl's tap

shoes' but I walked out behind him

and then I saw a man on the bridge

taking photos of trains

I live in Cambridge (UK) and also spend a lot of time in Melbourne (Australia). I write poems about these two cities and the people in them.

I have a Facebook page. This will tell you when and where I'll be reading my poems.

Don't be shy. Please contact me if you want to know more.
