Coming In: Messages from the Edge

Steve Garrett is a Cardiff-based social entrepreneur, writer, poet and musician. Originally from Wrexham, Steve spent many years living in Canada trying out a lot of different occupations before returning to settle in Wales, where, amongst other things, he has set up and run farmers markets.

Steve insists that writing poetry helps him respond to experiences (often, inevitably, affairs of the heart) that have amused, inspired, or annoyed him. With these verbal outbursts he shares observations and insights, inspired by the belief that words can help us know and appreciate each other more. And to smile at life.

Writing from a male perspective, Steve hopes his work can speak to everyone, and especially to men who haven't read much poetry before.
