A poem written for one person, one occasion, one room. Or my voice on your book, your advert, your training film. Both are the same work, really — saying a true thing plainly, and saying it well.
Straight answersI answer every enquiry myself, usually within a dayPrices below are what you pay, no add-onsNothing you tell me is ever shared or published
A poem of your own
Commissions
Weddings, funerals, anniversaries, the birth of a child, the anniversary of a death. You tell me who they are — the small true details, not the grand ones — and I write the poem only that person could have. Handed over in an envelope, read in my own voice, or shared with the people who need to hear it.

The Written Poem
A poem written for one person or one occasion, yours to read, print or frame.
Dublin, and I don't sand it off. Twenty years of it — audiobooks, adverts, corporate work, and my own poems read to a few hundred thousand people a week. If you need warmth, or weight, or a voice that sounds like a real man in a real room rather than a man reading a script, that's the one I have.
