I'm a British poet, living at
Gee Cross, Hyde on the edge of the Pennines
with my wife,
Christine.
Our youngest son, Craig attended Arden College, Southport,
for four years
and now lives in a supported house in Hyde.
Our other son, Ian is at present in Redford Court,
a rehabilitation centre in Liverpool,
following brain injury due to a road-traffic accident a few years ago.
Penny, our Manchester terrier died in 2002, aged 13.
I've been active on the Small Press Scene for more than 30 years,
first editing Headland and then New Hope International.
My poetry has been published in many countries and been
translated into Croatian, German, Japanese, Spanish,
Portuguese & Romanian. I am an honorary member of
the International Writers & Artists Association.
I serve on the Council of the Yorkshire Dialect Society.
In 2001 I was awarded a Diploma from a college in Romania.
I operate the mailing list Haiku Talk
and am co-owner of Wordwizards an online writer's group.
After nearly a quarter of a century working in insurance,
I took early retirement. Now I keep myself busy designing web pages
as a hobby. |
