I work on both stage and page, and have performed my poetry at festivals, theatres, pubs and pavements around England, North America and Japan. 

I published my first volume of poetry, Verbatim, in June 2003, releasing a second edition the following year.  I have also had poems and short stories published in a number of compilations and magazines, including: And This (Young Woodchester), More Words in Edgeways (The Cromwell Press), Kansai Time Out, Pedestrian Poetry (Streets Alive!), Fusebox(Rattapallax), The Hole Magazine, City: Bristol in Poems and Pictures. (Paralalia), and The Daily Exploit.  In September 2006, I released my first solo poetry CD A Metal Plate in A Microwave.   My second solo poetry CD was Ghoti and Other Fauna.

In 2010 I was commissioned, by BBC Radio Four to write a short poetry-play set at Glastonbury Festival.  The play was co-written by myself and Pete Hunter and also features work by top poets Andreattah Chuma, Hollie McNish and Dreadlockalien.  As if that wasn’t enough, you can hear some fine West Country musings on the many manifestations of mud by Bristolian Paul Vallis!  Glastonbury Poetry Diaries has been aired several times on BBC Radio Four and you can read more about it here.

In recent years the majority of my poetry has been written, published and performed in the context of my academic research. Bird Poem (commissioned by the University of Brighton’s Centre for Arts and Wellbeing and produced by Sarah Tremlett) and The Master’s Tools (originally written for the BPS Community Psychology Festival and subsequently published in ‘Decolonising the Curriculum.‘ ) are two examples of this work.
