My Background ? god where to start on that?I was born in Australia way back in 1963, lived in Australia for a whole 6 months then moved with my family to Malaya (as it was called then) where I spent most of my childhood. I guess I was always the black sheep of the family (my friends and family would interperet that as moody,sullen, withdrawn and the list goes on) I started reading poetry at a very young age and found that writting poetry helped me to make sense and put into perspective some of the darker experiances of my life, so on the whole it tends to be a walk down a gloomy path, nonetheless some who have read my work have suggested I spread it around so here is a sample.Oh and before anyone asks, yes Azrael Raven is my real name.
