Tom Burgess

I am a Poet living in Bristol, UK. My day job concerns play, nature and adventure for young people. This influences my poetry in the sense that I am interested in transformation. I have poetry collections titled ‘Paint Yourself’ and ‘Tangled Yet coiled’ both available from Arkbound, a local charity publisher. I sometimes write about my lived experience of psychosis which has been a challenging nonlinear road. Writing helps me find and claim meaning from the chaos of it. I have a blog I update sporadically - http://tompburgess.blogspot.com/
