Writing
Morning Light
2024 · Palewell Press
The final part of the day/night trilogy; morning poems of 'love, loneliness and alienation.'
"Life is reflected in these poems, enhanced by caffeine and a dash of Coltrane. A cumulative effect that is both calming and joyful."
— Greg Freeman, Write Out Loud
Afternoon Music
2020 · Palewell Press
Afternoon poems of love, the city, coffee and music. 'Poems that take the reader on an inner voyage of discovery.'
Night Work
2017 · Palewell Press
My first collection. Night themed poems, about the night or written at night.
"A gentle book that sings a rather melancholy tune, in a strangely uplifting way. An enchanting book."
— Kate B Hall, UK Haiku Society
