Since 1986 I have sculpted in English, seeking poems that work whether
declaimed loudly or whispered in the mind. Never a closet poet,
I have always written with an audience in mind, and I like to recite
to audiences wherever I find myself (mostly in Perth, Western Australia).
I try to write poems that will be appreciated by people both inside
and outside literary circles. This website is an ongoing project and is
the definitive collection of my poetry.
Do let me know what you think.
If you'd like me to email you when I add new poems to Proximity, please
send me your email address,
which I will not reveal to anybody.
Please send me details of other poetry websites, blogs, etc,
and other Perth poetry/performance gig guides. If I like it I'll link it.
If you think this website is visually boring, I'm sorry, but I prefer
fast, uncluttered websites that work well on any system with any browser.
If it doesn't work well for you, please send me some details.
(I agree, it needs a search function. Coming Soon!)
This is my first full-length collection.
It contains 94 of my readers' and audiences' favourite poems,
presented in a sequence that is in itself a poem.
Read from front to back it will surely mess with your mind.
I'll post it to anywhere. 25 Australian dollars, including postage.
Use the buttons to order and pay securely with Paypal (by credit card,
from your bank account, etc). You don't need a Paypal account to do this.
To arrange payment methods other than Paypal please
email me.
