Hello my name is Tyron Allbright. I was born in the Midlands. I would like to class myself as just an ordinary backstage sort of a person, who has a great fondness for pets. I have always experienced great pleasure working the land and wood carving, until an injury to my hand led me to the path of poetry. And out of sheer frustration, a new door opened up for me. I had some work published (which amazed me because I had never written before.) Then came a constant stream of published work, to which I would like to express sincere thanks to the International Library of Poetry, and Forward Press Ltd. for their encouragement which led me here. I would like to think my poetry puts across the message of equality for all races and a productive, creative life to each and everyone who shares God's world. At least we now have some names of organisations who are claiming responsibility for such international linguistic terrorism. |
