Most poems and performance pieces written since 1980 are here, grouped by collection, theme, season (see the panel on the right) and alphabetically

wordsout was created as an imprint for Breaking the Chains (1992) and Welcome to the Real World (2000). Everything was added to this website in 2011. Paperback copies of the last book are still available from Amazon.co.uk or from me.

Poems written since 2000 are in two collections: September 11, 2001 and Incarnate, neither of which have been published in print.

Words written for personal and community events are collected in Occasions and Nonsense.

Some poems by others which have delighted me are here.

wordsout is "not for personal gain". All income after essential costs such as web hosting goes to charity, in recent years to support two schools in Jos, northern Nigeria run by the Rev Kenneth Ononeze. 

All poems on this site may be used free of charge for non-commercial reasons. For other permissions see here.
