I'm a Brummie by birth, but did much of my growing up on the Isle of Wight, where my family moved when I was nine. On leaving home, I returned to Birmingham to study Biochemistry. By 1983, when I left for Southampton to spend an abortive year not training to teach, I had become active in the peace movement. Several arrests and a speaking tour later of the U.S. later, I retreated to the island and worked on the buses for 4 years. After a long hiatus, I resumed writing poems in the mid 1990's. , shortly before leaving the Labour Party.
