"... brevity is the soul of wit ..."
- William Shakespeare

Bio


Maori from Aotearoa-New Zealand, married to a lady from Pampanga, Philippines - where we also have a home - living & working for a long time now in Hong Kong. Fortunate to have been published in a wide variety of genre.

Two completely separate poetry collections were published in November, 2011 - china as kafka (Kilmog Press, Dunedin, Aotearoa) and Home Away Elsewhere (Proverse Press, Hong Kong.)

However the key book - forthcoming from Multilingual Matters, U.K in June, 2012 - will be English Language as Hydra - please see link here: http://www.multilingual-matters.com/display.asp?isb=9781847697493

This will be a very significant tome.
