Concrete Womb (1988)
Published by Sol Publications.
Out of print but still the odd copy with the author.
Marketplace of Masks (1988)
Published by Stride Publications. Again an early Wallis offering now out of print - with the odd copy lying around in the Wallis abode.
Real Tears & Crocodile Smiles (1984)
Published by Stride Publications. Now out of print (apart from the odd copy).
Wordsculptures (1983)
Earliest publication. Not necessarily representative of my current work.
It's out of print but there are a few copies lying about here (with rusty staples !).
I am a husband a father and grandfather. I was called "wordsculptor" by a colleague thirty years ago and the name just stuck. As poets have a natural penchant for poverty my occupation is enginering design - mainly automating mind-numbing assembly procedures. I see poetry as my 'gifting' and work hard to keep it in shape. I hate describing myself and fall miserably into the abyss between crowing and hiding when having to write a 'profile'. Relaxation comes via dabbling in artwork and photomanipulation.
I've had some success as a poet and am currently a moderator at ChristianWriters.com. My particular interest is the use of the language of poetry within a worship environment - my church is getting used to being 'experimented' on when I lead services !
I have a blog that encorporates some of my work.

My poem 'Bats' features on the EverydayPoets 20th March.

Sometimes as kings, haughty, self-assured
confident of our position
we approach the manger-cross.
Sometimes as shephe...

Remembrance Sunday 2009
And I could cry a million tears,
and poppies fall like rain,
if all the death and sacrifice
had only been in vain.
Ninety years have passed and gone
since that first hopeful day
but fear and fighting still survive
