Location	South-west Scotland, United Kingdom
Introduction	I spend my days moving commas back and forth wondering if I'll ever get them in the right place. But as Faulkner once said when one is totally satisfied with one's work it will be time to stop.
Interests	I like making things and seeing what other people have made. So I love to both write and read, cook and be fed, garden and visit gardens. I also enjoy the (other) arts even though I am totally unable to paint, sculpt, sing, or do ballet.
Favorite Movies	Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle-stop Cafe, Lost in Translation, The Station Agent, Cinemas Paradiso, Withnail and I, Ill Postino, Ghost Dog, The Fisher King, 21 Grams, Happiness
Favorite Books	On The Black Hill by Bruce Chatwin, Mrs Bridge by Evan S Connell, Mrs Dalloway by Virginai Woolf, The True History of the Kelly Gang by Peter Carey, The Road by Cormac McCarthy, The Letters of Ted Hughes, Ariel by Sylvia Plath, Crow and pretty much everything by Ted Hughes, District and Circle by Seamus Heaney, The Earliest English Poems edited by Michael Alexander, Gerald Manley Hopkins Selected by W H Gardner, The Dog of the Marriage by Amy Hempel, The Paris Review Interviews
