Phil Lucas Biography

Phil has taken a varied journey before deciding to write full-time. He has run primary school classes on poetry, been a stand-up comedy poet and had a sprinkling of ‘proper’ jobs too. His work has appeared in a number of magazines and books, and he was winner of The Arrival Press London Poetry Competition in 1996. He is the author of two books of poetry (Poems From the Seashore,2006 & The Silence of the Suburbs, the Call of the Sea,2008) and one novel (Seaside Tales From Asper St. Jasper,2008) .

Although Phil’s poems cover many subjects, he believes that all are inspired by the gift of being able to move at his own pace with the rhythm of the sea and the countryside he so loves. As Phil states,
“My greatest pleasure is watching time drift by, taking my time, wasting my time, moving against the structure of time. All of my poems therefore celebrate freedom to see, freedom to feel, freedom to be.”
