I have always enjoyed watching the behaviour of other people. Their reactions, facial expressions and body language in any given situation. The way they interact with others. I have always felt like I was on the outside looking in and my poetry enables me to express myself in a way I often do not feel I am able to with others. I am Ugandan though I spent half my life in England. I consider myself to be of mixed heritage, not by genetics or nature, but by nurture. In many respects, these two cultures are at odds with each other and this had led to an inner turmoil about my identity which my poetry helps me to explore and sometimes resolve.
