These, below, are my poems, to date. They were mostly written in the ‘covid years’ – i.e. 2020-2022 – and many are very obviously flavoured by those strange times. I think they vary a lot in quality, but I haven’t weeded out the worst. If nothing more, they are snapshots of one person’s attempts to discover and express the essence of poetry.

You’ll find each poem comes with two ‘extras’. First, there is an audio version for each one. (Just me, doing my best.) This may make the poems more accessible. They also underline my belief that poetry needs to be read out loud, not only seen on the page. It is only through hearing poetry that we can discover the song of it. Second, there are some notes on the technical aspects of the poem, for anyone who’s interested.
