Poet. Songwriter.

That’s all you need to know, really. This site’s not about me, but about the music & poetry that I write and then perform occasionally. You can listen to some of the songs and recorded poems here. You can buy my books and CDs/EPs etc. here. There are links to take you to other sites where I archive a lot of the work that I do.

Okay, so it’s partly about me. I write poems, song lyrics and melodies. I arrange music for my own poems and the poems of Shakespeare, Lord Byron, G.M. Hopkins, E.E. Cummings and others. I write books and I collaborate with musicians, other poets, painters, whoever creates art and wants to do projects with somebody else. Life. Is. Collaboration.

And so if you send me a note, maybe we can strike up a conversation about music, poetry, songwriting, gigging, collaborations. I’d like that. A lot.

Reach out

Let me know what you think of the music and the poetry. I have a thick hide, so you can be honest. Collaborate on something? Let’s hear about it.

Want to book me or the Toves? Just send a note & I’ll get back with you asap.
