I work on twentieth-century poetry (Robert Frost and Edward Thomas), Thomas Hardy, ecology and contemporary poetry (especially Jorie Graham, Kathleen Jamie, Mary Oliver), on Romantic Period writing, particularly Anglo-Italian literatures, and on ideas of place in nineteenth and twentieth century writing.

I have contributed to the BBC Radio 4 Series, 'Natural Histories'.

I led the team which produced a smartphone app: Romantic Bristol: Writing the City

My poetry has been published by The Brodie Press

The Peer Group, IF YOU HAVE TO ASK YOU CAN'T AFFORD IT is available via Amazon, Itunes, emusic and spotify.
