i’m a poet and writer interested in words that reach out honestly for core conditions that help all humans, that offer such conditions, to help us find, make, a benign environment for growth for all, serious and fun

i’m especially interested in poetry, literature, film, theatre, music, art, wisdom, counselling (and many aspects of these, including gender)

i’m most active here blogging new poems and reviews (mostly of film) with occasional news of publication, my blog is here – at my new opening page with about two hundred poems and far fewer reviews

news of my forthcoming collection is here – a staff of asklepios

23/3/20 – a change of theme today, hope the roll of the ship didn’t catch you – apologies as I was caught not linking this post to the newly dynamic opening page – wabi sabi (see my about page) may be a bit of an excuse sometimes
