About meI was born in Gibraltar, a place of which I have no recollection.
I am half-English and half-Italian, but would like to have at least a dozen other halves.
I live in Italy, in Rome, where I make a living repeating what other people say (some people call this conference interpreting).

I have my own website at www.sidewaysstation.com

I have published a book of poems - The Observation Car -
