About Me
About me
I'm middle-aged, I started writing (my first novel) in 2004, and also write short stories. It was about 2005 when I first tried poetry. I have published about 150 poems since then. I am Associate Editor of 'Sonnetto Poesia' (while it lasts) and 'Canadian Zen Haiku' magazines, and am also helping to select the poetry for the anthology 'The Phoenix Rising from the Ashes'. I have no qualifications to write other than being fluent in my native language. You can find out about my book of poetry, 'Naked in the Sea' here: http://nakedinthesea.webs.com
Location: by Dundee, Scotland, GBR
Favorite Poets
I try not to be influenced; I like the work of Chez Harvey and Lane A Smith
I admire Richard Siken but don't often like his work. I admire Lisa Jarnot. I can take Carol Ann Duffy and Liz Lochhead in small doses. I am in awe of Shakespeare
Yeats
and Dylan Thomas. I think Robert Browning and Philip Larkin should have been strangled at birth.
