LocationBrighton, East Sussex, United Kingdom
IntroductionI'm a thirty-one-year-old man from Brighton. I have a Creative Writing degree from The University of Chichester, and I love to write and curate poetry. I hope you enjoy my collection of blogs.... I aim to open things up and ride the rhythm. Toodlepip, dear readers, and thanks for sharing your time. Feel free to e-mail me RHEAD1@chialumni.ac.uk
InterestsMusic, poetry, film, science and technology, writing (both songs and other things), playing the few instruments I own, walking, cinema-going, the odd bit of quiet contemplation, interaction with strangers, the kindness of people, humility (and the odd bit of bravado and reckless abandonment), atheism, liberalism, secularism, love, friendship, socialism, environmentalism (and other '-isms' too numerous to mention).
