English
22 year old from York, UK. A 2011 graduate in Economics and Politics from the University Of Sheffield. Currently attempting to save up to travel to Cuba and South America! Don't know much about poetry/writing poems, I'm more of a music man and recently started attempting to write songs and lyrics. Anyway, I wrote my first poem while on a train (lack of ability to play guitar on train, hence a poem..) Musical influences come initially from The Clash, with Joe Strummer being the guy I look up to (politcally and musically). Apart from that, Bright Eyes, Conor Oberst, Death Cab For Cutie, Postal Service, Elliott Smith, The Strokes, Damien Rice. All sorts really, but a big fan of singer/songwriters. From the poets I've read, I like Cummings, Hemingway, & a few others but I don't have any specific styles. To be honest I haven't had much exposure to poems, but I guess that's why I'm here..
