Preface

I was  born and raised in a loving family home in Liverpool, UK. My hobbies and interests are Liverpool FC, the Kings’ Regiment, poetry, horticulture, landscape garden design, cinema with friends and family, nature & the outdoors. I have written poetry for as long as I can remember. I’m a deeply spiritual man, a man of faith, and poetry allows me to access the heights and depths I encounter in life & being. My work is mainly inspired by my journey through life, and its’ joys and pains. My personal battle with addiction and hopes for a lasting recovery feature prominently in this anthology

My faith in Christ and my journey to understand and better myself in life  has very much influenced  the man I am and my love of verse. I find a great sense  of purpose in completing a poem that has captured a moment, or moments, in time, to my personal satisfaction. I can be very critical of my own work and it is a joy to take on the challenge of self. I thoroughly enjoy playing with words and rhyme . I have what I would call, a contemporary, free flowing style of verse, and I try not to attach any or too much regulation to my work.  Life and the world around me
