    Darren Carter

    Born near Manchester UK I attended Upholland boarding school. From there I went into further education at Liverpool John Moores University studying fine art and art history. The journey for poetry didn’t end there. Having studied the Bible profusely for many years joining a monastery seemed inevitable and the right choice in life. It was studying & singing the Psalms that gave birth to a passion of writing poetry. I have now been writing ever since, each day and every day.
