Hello,

I'm dead chuffed that you've found your way to my poetry site. If you've just stumbled here, then a very big and warm welcome to you. If you met me somewhere and I told you about poetry cupboard, then the welcome is just as big and warm.

I spend most of my time writing poetry. All sorts of poetry. Some of it’s light-hearted, some of it isn't, some of it’s short, some of it's not so short. I love poetry and, for as long as I can remember, writing and poetry are all I've ever really wanted to do. I'm tremendously lucky to be able to do what I love for a living, and I never take for granted the fact that any day of the week I can take myself off to look at big ships, wander around a zoo or just sit on a park bench and think about biscuits, stoats or 1960s Soviet architecture.

On this site you'll find information on all the poetry I write. You'll find poems from my published works, poems that haven't been published, poems that probably never will be published and a whole host of information about readings and all that sort of guff. You have my guarantee that if you want to bleed me of information, I'll pour that metaphorical blood out here first.

So, that's about it really. You can see the buttons on the left that link to all the different parts. So why not grab yourself a cognac, half bottle of Bollinger or can of Tizer, kick back and have a mooch about.

I raise my electric cigarette to you with love,
