| Bio First put poetry to paper at the age of nine, he never did learn to spell. The only thing he knows about grammar is that she died when he was 12. Leaving school at the age of 15, he went to work in a cotton factory. Stayed long enough to buy a sleeping bag, rucksack and a pair of boots then he hit the road. First the British Isles ending up in Oxford with the Blackfriars poets, a bunch of anarchists performing in a monastery. From there Europe still screaming his poems at every one who would listen. Then off overland to India/Greece/Ibiza Back to England and formed The "Axis Experimental poetry theatre" & magazine. He then headed west to America taught in GA. And travelled the Midwest doing readings. After returning to England to form the "Indigo Hellalump Portable Theatre" which moved to Belgium he stayed there a few years & opened the first headshop in Belgium. Started 'Antwerp poets' a group of poets & musicians performing at the music caf?, 'De Musiek Doos'. Returning to England he then fell ill and did nothing for 15 years except marry twice, open an occult bookshop and run a cat rescue. One morning he awoke at last and moved to Holland, where he has spent the last 5 years performing his poetry on stage/radio/television/bars/caf?'s/squats & on board a ship. And that's where I am now. Still screaming poems/sounds/ideas to who ever wants to listen. Motto "have poems will travel".
