About Me

I do this because it's fun. And sometimes transcendent. Because I love words and spoken poetry. Paris is a beautiful backwater where life is slower than New York or London, it gives breathing space, distance from the anglo metropoles that supports writing. & the English-speaking community here is just the right size to come together and do something, to provide a home/platform for, to nurture and be nourished by, our/your poetry, stories and songs. A space in which to create something fun, and sometimes sublime. Bio: Almost entirely unpublished writer, stand-up poet, student of gestalt and liar. "A poet is a liar who tells the truth."

You have to dig a hole to China. Where do you start?

China, obviously.
