Sam Smith

Editor of The Journal (once 'of Contemporary Anglo-Scandinavian Poetry'), publisher of Original Plus books, I am also proud to be Poetry Editor of BeWrite Books. Born Blackpool 1946, now living in Maryport, Cumbria, freelance writer, most recently employed as an amusement arcade cashier, I have also been a psychiatric nurse, residential social worker, milkman, plumber, laboratory analyst, groundsman, sailor, computer operator, scaffolder, gardener, painter & decorator........ working at anything, in fact, which has paid the rent, enabled me to raise my three daughters and which hasn't got too much in the way of my writing. I now have several poetry collections and novels to my name. (see my website http://thesamsmith.webs.com/)
