Poet Reprobate was the second chap book I produced, this one in 1985, published by The Poetic Licence Collective, a Teesside based magazine run by Ann Wainwright. It consisted of performance poems, stories, lyrics from the 70’s or early 80’s and graphics designed in a fanzine style and popular at my gigs and on the International small press network.

This version is a recently revised edition, the core of which reflects the original but with additional or replaced material and restructured layout.

 The Escaped Poet was the first poetry chapbook I produced, published in 1984 by the

Poetic Licence Collective a magazine based on Teesside and run by Ann Wainwright. 

The book consists of poems, lyrics and stories written during the 70’s and early 80’s and I designed the book in a kind of fanzine way. It was popular at my gigs and on the international small press network of the time.

Liila Szinai – of The Poetry of Love magazine, wrote
“ I would thoroughly recommend this book in which poetry ‘escapes’ from the shackles of its usual subject matter to deal with the real issues that face us in our world – unemployment, the position of women – but with strength, compassion and humour.”
