About Trains in the Distance
I'm a poet living in North Yorkshire on the edge of the dales and near Bronte country. Last October I started a PhD and I'll be 60 the year after I finish it. Trains in the distance that are getting closer.

A Time and a Place
....there's a time and a place for That Sort of Thing (and it's definitely not here and it's definitely not now!). Creative provocations on poetry, place writing, the inappropriate, the out-of-context, the bizarre, the beautiful, the lost-and-found.
