Poetry Profiles: Introduction 

To celebrate the soon to be published, Drawing Outside of the Lines: Poems 2007-2017 on 1st July 2017, I wanted to share with you all a few stories of some of the poems in the collection. 

The first story, or poetry profile is for the poem, Whitby from my debut collection, Still Growing. It will be published tomorrow here. The idea is to share some background for some of the poems and collections I have written over the last 10 years. 
I hope they can provide some insight into my process of writing, some information that you will find interesting and provide you with a gateway into the my world of words. 

Phil
