Presently a Planning Enforcement Officer for Bristol City Council, I developed my interest in performance poetry in my student years, the early 90’s, when I attended Claire and Glens’ Bristol Poetry Slam events and other poetry/short story performances. This fuelled my commitment to The Poetry Slam. |
| My City Council job brings me in regular contact with many useful government and community based initiatives, which could aid towards the ambitions and growth of The Poetry Slam. |
