He was a founder of the performance company The Theatre of Mistakes, in the 1970s and 1980s. By 1966 he was dancing with the Royal Ballet, but left the ballet in order to concentrate on writing, and his first collection of poems, "Inside the Castle", was published by the Cresset Press in 1969. In 1970 he directed The Oz Event at the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) and read his poems at the Poetry Society. He founded performance company The Theatre of Mistakes in 1974. Under his direction, this company made notable appearances at The Cambridge Poetry Festival (1975), at the Serpentine Gallery, London, and at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam (1976), at the Hayward Gallery, at the Biennale de Paris, in the Musée d'Art Moderne and at FIAC in the Grand Palais (1977).' (Wiki) ***'This collection brings together longer poems written over the course of fifty years. Such poems enable a narrative to unfold or they may create the space for an extended meditation. Whether a sequence, a medley of forms bound together by a common subject or an extended column of verse, the longer poem invites the reader to become immersed in the flow of a process and as such it is less dependent on that lyrical emphasis n beginnings and ends - which may seem to lend significance to a fragment or an anecdote.' (Quote taken from the front flap) ***'Grey Suit Editions began as a video magazine in the 19990s. This featured avant-garde performance art, poetry and experimental film and music. These videos can be found on our website. Today we host an archive of the video footage as well as publishing books of literary interest and poetry chapbooks.'
