Biography

I've got 4 collections out with a publisher called Chipmunka. Soundcloud Rain is a book of songs. The Sunset Child I wrote at seven. Breath Trapped In Heaven is all love poems. Brave New Tense is about water. Still, I wasn't getting them right and it breaks my heart to say this but I wouldn't recommend anyone to read any of my own books. I still rework permutations of the same material at my laptop as if I were playing cards, or working on a first proper collection. It breaks my heart. What's even worse is that I used to be the lion from the heart of Poem Records but I got the sack before I could even get a good first collection out there. I fall back on the comforting knowledge that poetry is a dead art form and I'm not the only poet in this terrible position. If only I hadn't blown it, I could be happy. It might be salvageable still, though, because I have a book now called 5 Collections that summarises my position on earth, correcting the mistakes of the 4 books I mentioned and adding something new to the mix. Currently, the document called 5 Collections is on my Blogspot page as a net-book, and I might bring it out as a paperback too.
