Mark McGuinness

I grew up in North Devon and currently live in London. If you’re wondering about the surname, I inherited it from Ireland, via Scotland. And if you’re wondering about the photo, that’s me on the threshold of the room where Basho wrote his first book of haiku.

I’m a member of the editorial board of Magma Poetry and edited Magma 34. The UK Poetry Library has an archive of Magma 34, including audio recordings of many of the poets who contributed.

In my day job … I’m a creative coach for artists, creatives, entrepreneurs and assorted other mavericks and reprobates, at my Lateral Action site, which also hosts my main creativity blog.

I also provide coaching and training for creative companies, via Wishful Thinking.
