I'm Ian, a man married and living in Williamstown, a bayside suburb of Melbourne, Australia.
Am now classed as a 'senior citizen', but not retired.
Have all my life enjoyed reading poetry, and in recent decades reciting it.
There have been periods in my life when I have written poetry, and too many long periods when I haven't. AP has been a timely spur.
When I'm not writing, or walking the dog, or helping with home duties, I work as a lawyer. Have heard and agree with most of the lawyer jokes.
My perennial enemy is the typo gremlin, who does not scruple to move the letters around in a document after I have checked it. I believe in being "alert but not alarmed in the war against error".
Some favourite sayings:
"Only a mediocre man is at his best all the time".
"Do not take your dog's admiration as conclusive proof that you are marevllous."
