About Me

I’m A Poet living in east London, currently I am taking a degree in creative writing at UEL. My ambition is to mentor poets and writers and also set up and run writing projects within London. I have no set writing style but my poetry is usually community or identity based in its nature. I grew up on an Estate in Hanwell West London, assumptions where made about my charater due to the overly hyped media treatment of council estates in general. I found living there a very posative experience, being part of a close knit community of kids and parents is somthing that I miss today. There was however a stigma attached to living there so I spent most of my early writing exploring the notion of mislabling people. real editor best profile tools real editor best profile tools
