So Many Words...

I take my inspirations from many sources...be it be a passage I read of our cultural past, places I visit or simply a scene observed while travelling up an escalator in a busy mall. This collection is directly based on my poetry show and is divided into three sections, like my live performances usually are...so you get the chance to have two intervals when reading, just like my audiences... Knowing Where to Look is a journey around some of the places I have visited in England and further afield during the last few years. Come Work in our Factories talks of people. Some of these are our ancestors and others those who have directly crossed my path. The Healing Power of Words can helpfully best be described as inspirational poetry. I always see my poetic stories as glimpses into moments of time, rather like seeds trapped in amber, windows showing a view into past events and places I have been. I became known as the Quantum Poet when a radio interviewer named me it back in the day, for some reason best known to him and the name stuck. Enjoy this collection as much as I enjoyed creating it for you...and if in doubt wear a silly hat, that's always good!
