Dreamtime

This anthology is an evolution of genres of poetry throughout my life, and much of my life has been spent outside-either traveling or working in landscaping in my own business which paid my way through university. As I blended my research in colonizing species into my work, I found a unique way to observe my environment and the plants and birds and ecosystems that I attempted to re-create. With my travels and teaching overseas, especially through India, I found it almost impossible to describe the vitality and colour that surrounded me with a camera. I therefore decided to describe my surroundings with writing-both with poetry and with social realism. Thus, the term Anthology reflects the variety of genres and evolution of myself through the years, but also includes poetry from several friends.

I must mention Jenny Saulwick who was not only a muse with my plays and writing, but also a fellow designer in my business AECOS eco-design and training...

Two plays of mine were produced with the assistance of David Greenaway and Gemco theatre in the Selby amphitheatre co-designed with Jenny Saulwick and friends:

Alice in Search of the Republic.

The Lost Wind.
