James Wilkes
Biography
I studied Psychology, Philosophy and Physiology at university, followed by an MA in Creative Writing. Then I moved to Japan for a year, where I worked in a kindergarten and on a chicken farm, amongst other jobs. I currently live in London, working as a tutor and freelance writer. I have self-published two chapbooks, and my poetry has been included in the anthology Generation Txt and various magazines and e-zines.

Sample Text
A psychotropic longhouse becomes the locus for this eminent rehash. Its structure is cantilevered thus, so the balcony's long shadow bunches at my throat. The entrance is a revolving door, a kind of promiscuous lock. Inside many young Belgians bodypop their continental ennui. This becomes a poetry of lampposts, dogwalkers, poplars, theodolytes, bus stops, municipal statues and radio masts. All the lonely civil spikes. Here is everything to do with comfort, acoustics, light and shade. I was magnificently bored.
from Griet Hannay, 8 Little Curtain Rings, (Strasbourg: Ed. de Carnard, 1989), 16pp.
