\"DRIFT<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The Drifting Village<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Released into the wild today as a downloadable pdf. The first of an irregular series of pdf pamphlets released as and when I feel like it.
Basically a resume and calling card showing the fairly small output of the last 15 years and hopefully leading to more poems in the future. I have already started on a sequence for the ‘Backwater’ volume so thought I had better clear this one up for once and all.<\/p>\n

Here the Bio blurb so you get the picture..all offers of Penury Fighting to me asap \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

He studied fine art at Hornsey College of Art, London from 1978-81. He began writing poetry in the 1980s and has subsequently been published in a number of small magazines and a poem used at title of the Shore Poets Anthology ‘The Ice Horses'(Scottish Cultural Press 1996). A selection of poems was published as ‘Last Farmer’ in the Salt Modern Voices Series\u00a0 in 2010.<\/em><\/p>\n

He now lives in Nottingham, England after two years in Edinburgh studying folk culture and several years in the city of expiring dreams otherwise known as Oxford.<\/em><\/p>\n

He has been involved in various literary projects including delivering creative writing workshops in Nottingham prison for the\u00a0 Inside Out\u00a0 project and was a founder member of Nottingham Writer’s Studio.<\/em><\/p>\n

After several years as an academic art lecturer he has returned to writing alongside his other artistic practices as this the fastest way to achieve total penury he knows.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n\n
