Each time, I try on a label, something inside me escapes into the wild. I wish I could say I am the bird, the sky, the leaf, the grass and so many other things but I am none of those unless I find them inside my poem and then just for a moment, I become those things and much more.

I currently teach English at a secondary school in Scotland. In the past, I have facilitated workshops and training for adults(parents & teachers) in the use of drama in education, choosing and using literature, working with poetry and storytelling; developed curriculum for teaching and supporting drama in education and worked with a wide range of children in India and Singapore. In what seems like a past life now, I was involved with marketing and at some point, wrote for A&M an advertising and marketing journal.

I love many things that begin with /p/ such as paintings, pottery, pebbles, picture books, poetry, process-drama, people, perspectives and then some that begin with /ph/such as photography, philosophy, physics. But most important of all, I love to play, play with sounds, words, ideas, questions, choices, and decisions.
