I was active on the London poetry scene in the 1970s as poet, publisher, editor, performer, broadcaster, and events organiser. I returned to poetry in 2013 after a long absence (during which I continued translating Greek poetry, as well as performing in various bands around Oxford). I've since published four collections, as well as appearing widely in journals and anthologies. I also translate poetry, mainly from Greek (with Andrea Christofidou) and German, write short prose, and paint.
