Where I Try To Convince Myself This Is A Good Idea

I've three poetry projects on the go right now, which all somewhat converge around the theme of fatherhood. I'm writing a fictional spoken word theatre show about a teenager who becomes a father, which is interlinked with generic poems about Dads which I'm hoping to amalgamate into some kind of publishable (or more likely self-publishable) manuscript. And I'm also planning to put together some kind of confessional comedy show called "The Unlikely Dads" with friend, fellow poet and new Dad Johnny Fluffypunk for the Brighton Fringe Festival this May.

Amongst the half written rhymes and notebook doggerel, I will inevitably be sharing something of my life with Juliet and our 18 month old daughter, Joss. Juliet is 9 weeks pregnant and expecting our second child this August, so this blog will also serve as some sort of personal record of the drama, farce (and who knows? comedy, tragedy?)that will no doubt unfold over the next seven months or so.

Oh, and I'm going to try and keep the posts short.
