'The universe is never again the same for every word spoken!' – H. P. Blavatsky
I have been writing poetry for 20 years. Here’s an extract from Barnes and Noble, booksellers:
‘John’s distinctive voice, enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of blog and Twitter followers, carries effortlessly from the personal to the pastoral. Many poems are inspired by family relationships, especially the bond he has with his first son Andrew who has Downs’ Syndrome.’
I moved to St Ives in 2022 to work (amongst other things) on a collaborative project involving visual art and poetry with Caroline Ward.
Exhibition in the Arts Club. 'A Poet, A Painter, a prompt: 365 Postcards'. A collaborative body of work with Caroline Ward, Artist. May 25th to 31st. St Ives Arts Club.
I’m currently working hard on a novel about my son Andrew and an Alien visit!
