                                                                              Philip, currently living in Willoughby, has had what is euphemistically called a portfolio career. That is, no career just a list of jobs ranging from fisherman in the Med, showman in London, freelance journalist, business man and high school and University teacher. He has recently completed his MA in creative writing at the University of Sydney.

                                                                              He has been published in: Eucalypt (Australia), Blue Collar Review (USA), TheZenSite, Poetry Atlas, Swamp, Meniscus, Cambridge Scholars Publishing, and Contrappaso. His poem, “Carthusian Silence” was put to music by composer Owen Salome and performed as part of Chronology Arts' Lyrebird project. As a follow-up to his stint as “poet in residence” under the aegis of Australian Poetry, Philip organises Poetry Nights under the banner of the North Shore Poetry Project at Rubino’s Italian Restaurant, featuring established and up and coming poets. He recently co-edited “A Patch of Sun, Café Poets Anthology” bringing together the poetry and poets of these evenings.

                                                                              2. What can people expect when they attend your workshop?
