Having given up a lucrative career as Senior Lecturer in English Literature at Portsmouth University, George now scrapes out a living as a full time poet. He was largely responsible for compiling the Pompey Football Club Centenary issue as published by The News and has been working as writer in residence at HM Prison, Kingston. George is a member of the British Haiku Society and has recently published a haiku training package on the web, with the assistance of a grant from the Arts Council of England.
