Born and raised in Buckinghamshire England, I am very much a 'country boy' at heart. In fact, town and city life is something of an endurance test to me. I'm never happier than if I wake up to find the sun shining and to have no 'to do' list. Propped up against a tree, I can happily whittle away the hours contemplating the meaning of life (when I come to a conclusion, I'll let you know). I'm also a big music fan, and enjoy everything from classical to rock. One moment it's the delicacy of Debussy, the next it's 'The Who' turned up to 11. 'Poetry' is a tricky thing to pin down. Not all verse is poetry, not all poetry is verse. I like to use the 'catch all' term 'poetry and verse' and imagine a literary cauldron in which Shakespeare and Emily Dickinson rub shoulders with Edward Lear, Lewis Carroll and even we lesser mortals in a timeless, egalitarian soup.
