Biography
I run my own spoken word night in Kettering called Run Your Tongue. I went back to uni in 2011/12 to take an MA in Modern Lit and Creative Writing and I am looking at starting my PhD this year. I spent 6 months in Paris last year where I started performing at open mics, and now continue to do so over here. I've had a couple of my poems printed in a cool little indie mag called Belleville Park Pages.

Drinking in the Day When did we start drinking in the day? It just seemed to happen, Like finding yourself in love for the first time, Or with a knife in the toaster Attempting to retrieve a relic of Burnt crumpet. When did we start drinking in the day? It's not as if we have an excuse, Like we're poets Or middle class, Or recovering from a Traumatic Experience. We drank at night to defend our fights, And imbibed libations to no one in particular. We searched obscure boroughs Looking for Whitman or Dionysus but could only find The Nag's Head. There was once a time when we would Sit and stare at the stars, But I began to despise the names You gave to the constellations, And as the empty bottles filled our bed, I decided to sleep on the floor. Then, sitting in our second-least favourite café, We stared at each other with nothing to say, That's when we started drinking in the day.
