I started writing poetry a few years ago after discovering that I am shockingly bad at journaling, talking to people about my feelings or writing a diary. My real name is Mark Webb. I am a 40plus-year-old teacher in a huge inner city college who writes down his rambling thoughts in verse.

My book is not your normal poetry book though. In Volume One, I have included 25 poems and, at the back of the book, have written a brief description of why I wrote each one, where I was in my life and what I was thinking. I hope that with this additional insight people will get the opportunity to appreciate and relate to the poems a whole lot more.

The Beardy Bloke. Who is it for?

When I started writing, the idea was a poetry book for men, to connect with other beardy men and to recognise themselves within the poems. However, the target market grew as more and more people started to read them. People recognised their partners, their fathers, their friends; I found more often than not that when I sent someone a poem to read they would ask if they could send it on to other people who would benefit.

With poems about everything from unicorns to getting it up, from violence and alcohol to cats and dogs, the book, I believe, has something for everyone. You may not love every poem but I am confident that you will connect with some of them and they will make you laugh, cry and question things.

Enjoy my book,

The Beardy Bloke
