"Strange times are these in which we live when old and young are taught in falsehoods school. And the one man that dares to tell the truth is called at once a lunatic and fool." (Plato)
Background
Information
An ageing roué who is not ashamed to admit he dyes his hair
Former Management Consultant now happily retitred, writing keeps me interested in life so I like to cover a wide range of topics and styles. My output available online includes fiction, poetry and articles on current affairs, history, philosoply and culture.
Writing influenced by John Steinbeck, Franz Kafka, George Orweell, Thomas Hardy and many others. Poets I like include Dylan Thomas, Tennyson, Browning, Andrew Marvell, Robert Frost, Shelley, Ginsberg, Leonard Cohen, Sylvia Plath etc. etc.
My personal site site is divided sections including humour, fiction and poetry and categories ranging through world events, society, travel, history and myth, to religion, faith and belief there should be plenty of reading for all tastes. I also regularly update my blogs, The Original Boggart Blog and Boggart Abroad

I keep getting my arse kicked for not promoting myself enough, so:
Ian Thorpe has won writing awards for poetry, fiction and factual journalism because he is occasionally quite good.
Additional Information
After a few years in which family responsibilities (mainly caring for my late wife, Teri,) have diverted my attention from writing I have now revamped my old site under than namne Greenteeth Digital Publishing. This is not a comment on the standard of dentistry in Britain (I have to say my dentist is excellent and so are my 70+ year old teeth teeth) but an extensive web archive named after folklore character Jenny Greenteeth. Jenny, the site's honorary CEO (that's chief ectoplasmic officer,) is a boggart or water spirit who drags unwary travellers into her mysterious lair, from whence they never return.
My visitors will have plenty of lifesavers to grab before going under, however once they have crossed into the land beneath the bog they may never want to leave.
