Stuart Bowditch lives not far from the sea. He has written poetry since 1991 and only now, in 2008, sees him publish his first ever collection.
'Confessions of a Forklift Truck Driver' depicts things he has seen and characters he has met on his journey through life as a member of the working class. It's available now from this site or in person at any gig that he performs at.
