Tim has written poems since he was at school.

He writes on themes that include travel locations that awed him(when we could travel), inspiring musicians, artists and performers, love in the modern world, how to save our beautiful planet, magic and mystery in a vacuum packed world, and the elusive emergence of poetry and song from the depths of our subconscious.

He is a member of the Lansdown Poets, and has been a resident poet and songwriter on BCFm’s Backchat show.

He regularly performs his poems and songs on the open mic circuit in Bristol.

He has organised nights of poetry and music, including “Ship Shape And Bristol Fashion”(At the Nova Scotia for the Harbour Festival), “Strange Creatures Of The Night; A Night Of Surreal Entertainment” on the Under The Stars boat, and “Folk, Words & Whimsy” at the former Greyhound pub.

He is also a songwriter and musician and painter(when time allows).

He has published 4 collections of his poetry ; “Soundings”, “Reverberations”,

”Lament For Gaia; From Worship To Despair-From Eden To Enviromental Disaster-A Poet’s Journey In Eco Consciousness”, and “Poems From Post Office Row”(A collection inspired by West Cornwall). He has been published in numerous anthologies(including The Bristol Writer’s Collective,  Weston Writers Refugee anthology and climate change magazine , and Gloucester Poetry Festival’s pandemic anthology, four anthologies of the Lansdown Poets.

He has recorded three CDs of his poems “Soundings”, “Soundscapes”(his poems set to his music), and “Reverberations”(Poems and songs from the world of music).

He has performed his poetry for the Bristol Literature Festival, The Edinburgh Fringe,the Clifton Literature Festival, the Bristol Poetry Festival,the Jelli Records online festival.

He organises and hosts SPEL, an alt poetry and acoustic music night(usually at the Bristol Fringe Cafe Bar-currently on zoom) and co-hosts the Berkeley Square Poetry Revue with Charles Thompson.

His poetry mentors include Dylan Thomas, Pablo Neruda, Ted Hughes, Lorca, e e Cummings, the surrealists and Arthur Rimbaud.

His poems try to project images in the reader’s mind that take them on an imaginative trip into the unknown, like good cinema.

He is finishing a new collection “At The Water’s Edge” at the moment.
