Simon fell back in love with writing poetry in 2022 while writing for catharsis, since when his style and subject matter have continued to evolve. To hone his craft he attends regular poetry review meetups and retreats including a wonderful poetry Masterclass at Tŷ Newydd with Carol Ann Duffy and Gillian Clarke in 2023.
As of March 2026, twelve of his poems have been published. Simon is working towards his first pamphlet. He works part time as a psychotherapist. Simon is from Cardiff and lives in Dublin with his wife, a puppy and a houseful of writer’s block distractions.
