What’s driving
Your Creativity?
Art is what makes us
Human.
Absolutely every aspect of our lives is creative in one way or another. We unconsciously consume the creativity that produced the cereal box we read the back of. We consciously choose the music or the podcast we listen to while we commute. The daily, mundane act of getting dressed relies on so many unseen creative inputs as the obvious creativity we experience when we go to a movie, or the theatre, or an art gallery, or our kids’ Christmas play, or wonder what that street art spray painted on the bridge support means.
Everything is Art…
…and while I love pretty much all art, I do spend more of my time paying attention to poetry, and imagery, and music which you’ll see reflected in the running list of my latest blog posts below.

About the Blog: Named after my first book, which was published in 2020, Lunatic Engine the Blog is a collection of micro-reviews and short posts about the things that are driving my creativity, things that I hope will resonate with you, things I believe deserve more attention.

or sometimes that little dry crown on the berry feels like a bug and you wait for it to move before deciding to spit it out but then it doesn’t move and you think you’re safe but then really, are you?

Poetry, an infinite sequence of doors opening and closing. The same door. The same crack.
