I put together a collection of poems under the guidance of Edward Clarke. Having done that, I decided to self-publish; Steven Appleby helped me by designing the book and doing this picture of me. Having created the collection I decided to make this website, supervised by my partner Catherine. The process has made me realise how much I depend on others, which is inconsistent with my lifelong strategy of social distancing.

Follow this link if you're interested in The Old Human book.

Every reading of a poem gives new insight and there are three poems from the book read here by John Holmes.

 

Some poems written since The Old Human can be found here.

Sometimes if they have music I put them here.
