Welcome to my website, a place for me to share my poems with anyone who fancies turning up or who stumbles in accidentally needing shelter. The photo above was taken by my pal Charlie at a river spot near where I live in the Cévennes mountains.

My pamphlet, Rib, was published by Wayleave Press in 2021, and my third and fourth full collections will appear in 2022 with Vagabond Voices and Drunk Muse Press respectively.

My second full collection The Art of Egg, published by Two Ravens Press in 2015, was reprinted by Pindrop Press following Two Ravens' demise. It can be bought direct from the Pindrop Press Bookshop

My debut collection of poetry To Know Bedrock appeared with Pindrop Press in 2011 and can also be bought from the Pindrop Press Bookshop. Just click on my name in the menu option 'Our Poets' to find both books.
