I took an MA in Creative Writing at the University Of East Anglia (UEA). I'm a Core Tutor with The Poetry School. My poems have appeared in magazines little and less little, in America, Australia, Canada, India, Ireland, and the UK, such as Agenda, Chapman, The Daily Telegraph, Geist, The Guardian, Jacket, London Magazine, Matrix, New American Writing, Poetry Review, Stand and Vallum. I write reviews sometimes for Books in Canada, among others. My poetry appears in the anthologies Open Field (Persea, 2005) edited by Sina Queyras and The New Canon (Véhicule, 2005) edited by Carmine Starnino. My poetry collections are Budavox (1999), Café Alibi (2002), Rue du Regard (2004), and Winter Tennis (2007). With Tom Walsh I created the CD, Swifty Lazarus: The Envelope, Please (Wired On Words, 2002). I'm the editor of many poetry anthologies, including 100 Poets Against The War (Salt, 2003) and the audio CD Life Lines: Poets for Oxfam. I'm poetry editor of online magazine Nthposition.
