Bill Wootton

Bill Wootton has been writing poems for the last ten years since he retired from secondary school teaching. Whether he is watching where he goes inside and out in Hepburn Springs, dipping into his past or tracing connections between things, he commits his observations into quirky and accessible verse. His enthusiasms for watching sport and the comings and goings in gardens and communities make for an intriguing poetry, in which the everyday is seen as if for the first time.
