Bio
Will.

I was born in Cambridge. I grew up primarily in New Zealand. My father is South African. I am culturally hybridised.

Everything fascinates me.

Music is my primary passion. I am a deep and abiding fan of bands or composers such as:


  • Coil

  • Swans

  • Schubert

  • The Legendary Pink Dots

  • Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds

  • Bauhaus

  • Siouxsie & the Banshees

  • Skinny Puppy

  • The Tear Garden

  • Tom Waits

  • Tool

  • Jeff Buckley

  • Tchaikovsky

  • Black Tape for a Blue Girl

  • Dead Can Dance

  • Laibach

  • Nina Hagen

  • Rachmaninov

  • Leonard Cohen

  • David Bowie

  • Diamanda Galás

  • Einstürzende Neubauten

  • Fields of the Nephilim

  • Faith & the Muse



My literary tastes are also wildly eclectic, but include:


  • Mervyn Peake

  • Iain Banks

  • Charles Stross

  • Neal Stephenson

  • William Gibson

  • Oscar Wilde

  • Bernard Shaw

  • Lewis Carroll

  • H.P. Lovecraft

  • Edgar Allen Poe

  • Susan Cooper

  • T.S. Eliot



If you find anything listed here of sufficient interest to incite such a request, I am open to invitations to tea and conversation. My contact details are listed above. I have met a number of my friends through this channel, and I tend to like those who like to read what I like to write. As sentences go, that one had many of the features of a circle-jerk.









IV. DEATH BY WATER

Phlebas the Phoenician, a fortnight dead,
Forgot the cry of gulls, and the deep sea swell
And the profit and loss.
A current under sea
Picked his bones in whispers. As he rose and fell
He passed the stages of his age and youth
Entering the whirlpool.
Gentile or Jew
O you who turn the wheel and look to windward,
Consider Phlebas, who was once handsome and tall as you.
