I write mostly poetry with a bit of prose and script writing. 

You can find what I’ve written by clicking publications and poems and images.

I was a secondary school History and English teacher for years.  Then I moved into university and community work as a teacher of Creative Writing; and I still do writing workshops in schools with both kids and teachers.  You can find out about my teaching activities by clicking workshops and teaching and talking.

From  Writing Edward Hopper  in The Same Country

You say if you could put it in words
there’d be no need to paint.

You say you just want to catch the moment,
have no need of narrative, but your paintings
leave no way out except to invent the story:
however good your painting, I still need words.
