I couldn’t have found…

Foyle Unfurling …

Welcome, curious reader, to my new website.  Though I don’t have an old website so, properly speaking, this is my debut own-URL e-emporium.  Here I’ve gathered a record of my work over the last twenty years, from my bouffon opera Hush to my recent verse drama ‘The Strange Wife’.  You can read some of my poems, check out the synopsis…
