Hello world!

I am something of a technophobe. So I've avoided the blogosphere like the plague. But as many people found out in the 14th century, the plague was difficult to avoid. And so is blogging. So here I am friends...
I'm a South-West Kent based museum archivist and performance poet. No doubt I'll blog about the specifics in the future, but what I want to do in these blogs is essentially 2 things:

1) Give a taster of some of my work. My poetry in process and my newest ideas for poems. To give a flavour of the mind of a working poet
2) Give my take on the biggest issues being faced today, not just globally but nationally and locally. And everywhere else in between. Sure I'll talk about the effects of the global recession on government policy, but I'll also talk about how it's affected Kent Police Museum where I work. Until recently tea, coffe and milk were all free. Now only tea is free, and the milk often runs out. And no one brings in coffee. Which is fine by me, I only drink tea. But what if I did drink coffee...
