How long have you been writing poetry?: For aeons. From a time when the world was young and filled with music. Or maybe, just when I was young and the world felt as though it was filled with music.

What/Who inspires you to write?: I suppose that my original mentor was my head teacher in primary school. One, W.E. Facey, a man of infinite wisdom and a sturdy right hand to deal with transgressors. The kids all loved him to bits.
