| Introduction | Back once again for the renegade badger, looking for poetry amongst the wreckage of "Broken Britain". I'm a mental health nurse, clamped firmly in the angry jaws of middle age and trying to be good and upstanding in an increasingly corrupt and immoral world. So little time, so many biscuits. |
| Interests | Trying to Tabitha and Toulouse (the twittens) to live together in peace, spending time with my wife and daughter (the light of my darkness), baking cakes of a superlative lightness, running, jumping, standing still, watching spaghetti westerns, playing blues harmonica and cigar box guitar, lo fi versification, oh and tea & biscuits would be nice. |
| Favorite movies | The Lost Weekend, Kind Hearts and Coronets, A Matter of Life and Death, The 39 Steps (1935), Aguirre, the Wrath of God, Anything featuring the Marx Brothers or W C Fields. |
| Favorite music | Pavement, Sonic Youth, Bob Dylan, Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band, Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood, country blues and acid skiffle. |
| Favorite books | Anything by P.G. Wodehouse, Anything by Michael Innes, The Music of Chance by Paul Auster, Three Men In A Boat by Jerome K Jerome, the "strange stories" of Robert Aickman, the poetry of Robert Burns, Seamus Heaney, Simon Armitage, Allen Ginsberg and David Berman. |
If you were a cannibal, what would you wear to dinner?
A smock (for when I run amok)
