I have been a full-time writer since June 2014, I have in that time predominately written and performed poetry, this year I moved on to writing long form prose.
I have had my poetry published online by three separate entities.
Blue of Noon: A tumbler poetry page.
Émigré Publishing: A New York/London poetry/prose publisher.
I am not a silent poet: A Wordpress poetry page.
My first novel is in post-production and is due to be published before the end of this year (2016) by Baxter Daniels Ink Press, under the title “The Crazy Side of Normal” under my pen name of Tom Sinclair. It is a small American publishing house so the book will be available with a limited distribution on the west coast of America and via online - worldwide.
I am neither old nor young
But somewhere in-between
Lost wholly in the Autumn
Of our youth, the graying of hair
...
So it’s World Poetry Day
I’m still in France
(A temporal migrant if you like)
And the conservative party conference drones on
...
I pick up five pence from the floor and bemoan the removal of one of my favourite skips
Last night I stole a sealed kettle plug from a printer box outside a friends neighbours house
Today I pontificate over how one person's trash is another's treasure
While I walk into death
...
There are two things in the top pocket of my coat
On this N15 night bus
A pack of three BIC pens
I've taken one out
...
Muffin top overflows
Green trousers
A pram is pushed
A pair of married beggars stops
...
