biographical note

I was born in 1939 and grew up in Chertsey, Surrey. In 1958 I moved to east London and studied English at Queen Mary College, Unversity of London. Later, in 1967, I moved to Brighton where I've lived ever since, except for a few years spent in the USA and Greece. It's always good to be by the sea. Over the years I've worked as a monumental mason, a librarian, a bookshop assistant, a Post Office counter clerk, and a railwayman. In the 1960s and '70s I edited a number of 'little magazines' and since Bob Cobbing published my first book, title illegible (writers Forum, 1965), have had a number of collections of poetry and prose published, as well as my translations of Tristan Tzara.
