Steve Garrett

I'm a Cardiff-based poet, musician, and 'equality-warrior'. My writing is in response to some of the big issues of our challenging times, from global warming to relationships - always aiming to entertain as well as inform and intrigue. I'm wary about life and love, but not cynical – still hopeful, despite the many paradoxes and disappointments of being a human, and inspired by the belief that insightful words can help us know and appreciate each other, and being alive, better. I write from a male perspective, naturally, and I'd especially like my stuff to speak to men who maybe haven’t had much interest in poetry before. I'm also a musician, performing my own songs as 'Stainess Steve' (see link below).
