My name is James Morris. I live in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, England. My credits include two poems in the Spectator a few years back- ‘Sacha’ , ‘The Conversion of Alec Guinness’.

There are plans for me to read my Chesterton-inspired poems at a conference to be organised in England in the near future (2016).

Joseph Pearce sometimes publishes me in the Saint Austin Review, another Catholic-orientated journal.
So I come from a Catholic perspective but my poetry is not overly pious. My strongest influences (poetically) are John Berryman, Ezra Pound.
I aspire to modesty in my work. I admire Roger McGough.
