Hi. Although I write verse from time to time, my main involvement in the arts is in the field of drawing, having worked (among many other jobs) as a freelance illustrator. I hold to the importance of drawing directly from life and, for some15 years, have run the weekly drop-in Life Drawing workshop here in Essex.
If you're interested, you can see some of my figure and scenic drawings at:
As to poetry, there's some stuff I want to say about that, but I need to work out how to say it clearly and I'll have to come back to that shortly.
So - here's to all poets, past, present and (fingers crossed) future. Cheers!
Meanwhile, here's some for the road............(i.e. my poems)
