I write about words and the origins of words, particularly eponyms and toponyms. I also write about music. Mostly classical music, but veering occasionally into its close relatives, rock and heavy metal.
Writing about literature, music, politics, ethics, history, and the end of the world. In no particular order.
50 years of teaching poetry and now I canโt stop looking at the worldโ in all its oddityโ
