September 2015
i live about forty miles from London in a place called Basingstoke, Hampshire. I have published some seven collections of poetry and have about a thousand poems floating around the web. But more important to me is if someone I don't know were to send me an email telling me they were moved by my work.
A Poet's Perspective
All these poems —
all these years —
if you stood them on top of each other
word on word,
letter on letter,
they would probably be as high as the Tower of Babel
as high as Jack's beanstalk.
But how many people read them
or feel them
I have no idea —
so why do I continue to write them?
Well.
Nobody else can.
