James believes there is a magic wood – your imagination – which takesthings from your life, things you’ve done, seen, daydreamed, remembered– and turns these into poems. Of the poems in his latest collection Journey To The Centre Of My Brain, ‘Gorilla Gazing’ began when a gorillaat London Zoo stared at him. ‘Simply Starlight’ was inspired by a Christmasepisode of Doctor Who. James’ favourite animals are those mystical creatures,wolves, and he finally got to write about them in ‘The Wolf Outside’.

Catching an idea when it comes, James believes, is essential. This is whyhe has an envelope in his pocket at all times. Always listening to music,James feels that songs are like little poems wrapped up in music.

Reading is something that he has always been mad about. As a boy heloved comics and Tintin books. James visits his local library at least threetimes a week to get his weekly pile of poetry books, novels and picturebooks. James is and always has been a word nerd – and as a writer he believes that poems are the most fun you can have with words.
