About Me

Hello....My name is James Brightman, I have been a poet (a serious one at least) for the past five years...I live in a murky, yet, affable backwater known as Milton Keynes... I'm hoping to get complete my first anthology completed by the end of this year (after many stop and start attempts!)... I am looking to collaborate with a musician/band to put my poetry, please send me a message if you would like to do so!

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 12/04/2006
Band Members: Sister, I'm a poet, so I work on my own...
Influences: Morrissey was the man that made me become a poet...So you can all blame him! I find Bjork's lyrics extremely interesting, as they are words written by someone for whom English is a second language...
Sounds Like: ermm.....words???
Type of Label: Major
