Bio
My wife and I live in south east England and have family connections with Dunedin, New Zealand. My poetry has been published in print and online journals in Britain, the USA, India and Australia and in anthologies in the USA and Britain. One poem was Highly Commended in New Zealand’s Caselberg Trust International Poetry Prize and others featured in the commemorative anthology of the Texas International Poetry Festival’s 20th anniversary. Three poetry collections have been published by Bennison Books: 'The Human Hive' in 2015, 'Poems for my Family' (2019) and 'Shimmering Horizons' (2021).
"The Human Hive", published by Bennison Books in January 2015, can be bought from Amazon, at the minimum price possible. It offers a series of poems looking at human life down the ages and round the globe and has been bought in ten countries. It has also been chosen for the UK's national poetry collection at The Poetry Library.
Or you can read a selection of poems from the book on the dedicated page on this blog.
