Biography
A lifetime educator in the RAF as well as in schools and mostly in mathematics and I/T, I came to poetry at the end of the last century in an outpouring of protest over a green "Yorkshire" rose. Since then I have written well over a thousand poems (and scrapped at least half of them) and begun a rewarding hobby that has seen me performing my own and other people's work around the UK and in America. I have also edited and published many books and articles and written a few acceptable short stories. Including The Complete Poetry of Cicely Fox Smith Co-founder with David Lindsay of the group Talking Zebras I am still enjoying writing, reading and performing poetry and expect to keep on doing so. I am available for talks / lectures.
