Words in my head, words from the page, words for the page…

My brain plays with words before it plays with anything else. This started when I was very young with the consumption of facts, continued through the absorption of languages ancient and modern, and found expression in the teaching of Classics over 36 years.

Now spared the strait-jacket restrictions that come with working in an institution, I am free to explore and create in my own way. This is liberty!

On the pages within this website you will see a selection of my words. Some of this writing stems from my recently completed Travel and Nature Writing MA studies.
