BioAnother tongue:
forgotten forever? Not in this season.
Not while rose hips ripen, and syrup
of evening woodsmoke calls us home.
Not while we still smell the ancient soil
that held the saxon at bay for fourteen centuries,
until our own motorway completed the invasion.
Waleas Eig: Island of Foreigners.
While our wet earth waits, hidden
under concrete, I breathe
my land and remain
a hidden foreigner.
That's a glimpse into my marrow. Here's the bio.
When I was young there were so many things I looked forward to doing with my life. So many interests. Right from the start, though, there were two things I knew would happen: I would go to sea and I would write.
I went to sea almost straight from school, and spent eighteen years on various ships and boats. I visited dozens of countries, including one whole blissful year island-hopping in the Caribbean, and it was exactly how I used to dream it would be during those long afternoon lessons at school.
I continued to dream while I sailed the seas. I told myself stories and explored beyond the horizons of my mind. Before I put pen to paper, I was already a writer.
I'm home now. The sea still calls me, but the stories call me more urgently and I have to tell them.
