About me:

I'm a poet living in Edinburgh, Scotland. My poetry has been published in a number of British journals and online. I have performed my poetry in various venues in Edinburgh and have recently done a musical collaboration with Belvedere Mountain Express. I have a poetry pamphlet due out April 2010 with Calder Wood Press.

I have tutored creative writing in Edinburgh and Midlothian and recycled crafts in Turin, Italy. I make craft items, such as collages, painted bottles and small purses entirely from waste and second hand materials. Currently I make crafts for myself or as gifts.

Blogs

My main blog is Crafty Green Poet - environmental poetry, crafts, reviews and nature notes.

I also blog at Over Forty Shades - poems on other themes and sometimes photos.

I edit Bolts of Silk an online poetry journal.

Some recent online publications :

Passing Shadow

The Family Her String Quartet on Aireings

senryu in Lighten Up, 3Lights Gallery (scroll along)

......

Who I'd like to meet:

poets, writers, crafters, multi media artists, musicians, environmentalists. I'm interested in collaborative projects with musicians and visual artists.....

    ~Born to be wild and free~

    I..m not the man you have to follow
