A selection of twelve poems—five drawn from my first and third books, Jigsaw (2003) and Already the Flames (2014: a Times Literary Supplement Book of the Year), and seven from my latest collection, Pedic’s Dream (2021)—appears at the link below, together with some introductory and other biographical material. The poems are in a PDF, which can therefore be downloaded if you are interested.

Thank you for sharing this, Clive. I've downloaded a copy.

Magnificent. "Twin" is precisely a sort of poem which I imagine the second Mrs. de Winter reading aloud to Maxim, after they have left for good the halls of Manderley. Unassailable. Thank you, sir.

Hi Clive,

I’m bumping this up. Belated thanks for this gorgeous selection of delicate, thoughtful and accomplished poetry. It’s an absolute gift. And for the fascinating biographical information! You taught Alexei Sayle!!?

Cheers
