I've been writing poetry & prose for about 20 years, off and on: some published, mostly haven't bothered.  What I write is aimed at people who don't participate in the literary scene, as I find this (locally) self-referential, narcissistic and deliberately opaque.
    If you like what you read, let me know: if you want to offer constructive criticism, that would be good: otherwise, there's a galaxy of sites out there, go find somewhere more congenial. Comments to
