I’m really pleased to have Paul Brookes here. He’s a lovely poet – his poemOurSpired Unicorn was one of my favourite advent calendar poems. He’s also immensely generous to other poets – he regularly opens his blog for ekphrastic challenge months and for themed days, and supports other poets on Twitter.

Paul is a shop assistant, who lives in a cat house full of teddy bears. His first play was performed at The Gulbenkian Theatre, Hull. His chapbooks includeThe Fabulous Invention Of Barnsley,(Dearne Community Arts, 1993).The Headpoke and Firewedding(Alien Buddha Press, 2017),A World WhereandShe Needs That Edge(Nixes Mate Press, 2017, 2018)The Spermbot Blues(OpPRESS, 2017),Port Of Souls(Alien Buddha Press, 2018),Please Take Change(Cyberwit.net, 2018),Stubborn Sod,with Marcel Herms (artist) (Alien Buddha Press, 2019),As Folk Over Yonder( Afterworld Books, 2019).
