Writer | Poet

Bio: 

I’ve always loved poetry but didn’t write my first real poem until around 2014, after a long hiatus I started writing again in and around lockdown. I’m not a prolific writer and only ever write when something sparks my imagination. This can be wide and varied, I’m eclectic in my style and subject matter.

Reviews of v10:

1. Round Here, pg40

I like this Poem as I see it as a juxtaposition to living in Cornwall, “there's a price for everything”, “every day's an adventure in a nightmare paradise”. It also speaks to me of the general problems modern day town life and the failing of social norms and constructs, made worse by recent governments.

2. Zennor field trip, pg63

I like this poem for the visualization I get on my mind when reading, especially how the wild ragged moors and cliffs give way to the more mundane of Cornish life, the pub and how all pubs seem to be doing the same thing, panini's and pesto… Cornwall becoming less Cornish and more London’esq

3. Discovery, pg80

This is about hope to me!

A somewhat sister poem to ‘Through Darkness’. Its looking more at the positives and the beauty of findings one's place in the world, and how one person's place can be very different for example it talks about submission, ropes that bind, and kinks embrace, all things far from the societal norms.

4. Through the Darkness, pg81

All I can say about this is I get it, we've all been there. The second Stanza hits home hard on a personal level and nothing more needs to be said.

5. Trace my Skin, pg87

This is simply love, passion and eroticism with metaphor a plenty… it reads well, in my opinion, with my other choice Discovery.

Over the past years of writing I've been awakened to the more erotic and Darker style of writing and this stokes the fire further.
