Steve is a long-time member of the Monday Night Group, first attending in 1989 when he was published in Commonword’s ‘No Earthly Reason’ collection. However, he didn’t ‘stick’ to the group until the mid-90s, since when he’s been a regular/active member, producing and editing ‘Sour Grapes’, hosting the ‘Poetry Party’ and designing the group’s old website. Steve was also active on the Poetry Slam scene in the late 90s/early 2000s and his work was included in the Slam anthology published by AK Press. Steve also spent several years on the Commonword management committee, including as Company Secretary.
Steve still writes both poetry and short stories, often focusing on philosophical and political issues. He’s getting back into the scene after a few years focusing on others areas of his life, and has recently formed part of the submissions panel for Pipeline, performed at Pipeline launches and had quite a lot to do with this new website.
Steve runs writers’ workshops on issues such as feedback, authorial voice and general creativity. As a learning & development professional, he can also support arts and other voluntary organisations with visioning and strategic planning, management training, performance management, etc.
