Hi! I'm Richard Goodson, a poet (aka dirtyfilthypoet). I'm based in Nottingham, U.K., currently working towards a PhD, and my first collection. I perform my work, lead writing workshops - and have taught Literature and Writing seminars at Nottingham Trent University. Oh, and in my dayjob I teach English language to asylum-seekers and refugees...My poems are often about male embodiment, male sexuality and gender. They've been described as 'visceral', 'erotic' and 'surreal'.I've been published nationally, in magazines such as 'Chroma: A Queer Literary Journal', 'The Interpreter's House' and 'Poetry News' - and recently had my poem 'Daniel Craig Screensaver' selected as The Poetry Society's Poem Of The Month.I'm also the founder of Queerpo (Queer Poetics Workshop), a collective of poets and artists who want to explore how Queer Theory impacts - or might impact - on their artistic practice.Check out my blog at www.richardgoodson.blog-city.com. - add a comment there, or mail me here. It'll be great to hear from you!
