Prose is the ideal form for an idea that needs expressing or an emotion or event that needs processing and honouring simply for itself. Prose is pensive and probing, teasing and touching, challenging and provoking.

With prose, what you are doing is composing a picture – something that is, metaphorically speaking, small enough to hang on the wall. Like a shot of wheatgrass (or vodka or coffee, if you prefer), prose wakes you up, pulling you up short of where you were heading, demanding that you stop and take note of what surrounds you, whilst simultaneously grounding you for a while.I turn to prose when a poem is eluding me or when I want to translate and better understand a dream, it’s allegorical nature allowing me to unveil what would otherwise remain concealed.Below are links to samples of my most recent work, many of them semi-autobiographical. Written over a period of three years, they detail my experiences, adventures, feelings and thoughts. If you would like to read more, send me an email.
