About me

I'm an Anglo-Irish web developer, father of five, company director and (evidently) a poet of sorts.

My inspiration comes from the beautiful Cotswold countryside I inhabit and explore, the intricate mysteries of the people I have loved, and the daily miracle of being a living, breathing, always changing consciousness – a point of view through which the universe looks upon itself.

If my poems speak to you, then I'm glad to have put them here: that hope is my only reason for doing so. If you'd like to share them with friends, family, lovers or acquaintances by pointing them towards this site, then please feel free. You can use the 'share' link that appears below the poems.


Would you like to reproduce one of my poems?

If you appreciate my turn of phrase and would like to quote part or all of a poem for a personal or educational purpose, then you're welcome to, but please reference my name, the poem title and a link to this site wherever possible.

To discuss the inclusion of a poem in an anthology, a collection of writings (whether printed or online) or in any other artistic work, or to arrange any commercial use, please contact me.
