Biography

Writing has long been my favourite pleasure, before taking pictures, making films or performing music. I have done all the above at different times, but now I am spending more time focusing on writing. This year I have decided to publish an original poem each week on my blog 52-poems.tumblr.com. The publicly declared deadline helps motivate me to write, and even though I haven't actually managed every week I'm creating more material than I would have done otherwise! In my 'real' job I write and make videos for the Daily Telegraph.

MY LITTLE UNIVERSE What happens inside? Not the fusing and the knitting together, that’s a miracle of another sort, but in the place where eyes become windows and heart beats with more than blood. What mystery is ignited as paradoxic cells divide and multiply? Are your dreams like mine already written in the original? That microcosmic seed as yet unsown waits not dormant but pulsating with potential life and you, my little universe, all my past and future, are held in singularity waiting to explode.
