My poems have appeared in places including Anthropocene, Brittle Star, Magma, Oxford Poetry, The Rialto and The Wolf. You can read some of them here.
I’m currently on the home straight of my first collection, The Illusionist.
I was awarded third prize in the 2016 Stephen Spender Prize, for a passage from my translation of Chaucer’s Troilus and Criseyde. You can read my entry and hear me read it at the prize ceremony here.
I spent eight years on the editorial board of Magma and edited Magma 34.
When I’m not writing poetry I’m coaching artists and creatives, and hosting The 21st Century Creative podcast.
I’ve written four books for creative professionals: Resilience: Facing Down Rejection and Criticism on the Road to Success; Motivation for Creative People; Productivity for Creative People; and 21 Insights for 21st Century Creatives.
I also contributed to two international best sellers from 99U, Manage Your Day-to-Day and Maximize Your Potential.
