Welcome to my website!
My big work is the Book of Lowmoor, an epic fantasy in three parts. Volume 1, Jewel and Thorn, was published in February 2005 and is available in hardback and paperback. Volume 2, The Brass Key, was published in February 2006 and is now available in paperback. Volume 3, The Iron Angel, came out in hardback in February 2007 and in paperback a year later.
NEW: The Day I Found My Childhood Erased... Richard Poole discusses the link between his childhood and the landscape of The Book of Lowmoor.

Younger readers - including watchers of the Nick Jr TV channel - should click on their own link. This leads to Teeny Tiny Creatures, animations of short, sharp poems.
My five books of poems are listed under the Poetry section. Each collection is represented by one poem and extracts from contemporary reviews.
The Criticism section will in the future reproduce some of the literary essays that I've written over the years. There will be a large section on Richard Hughes, and individual essays on Philip Pullman, Thomas Harris, Vladimir Nabokov and many poets including Shakespeare, Dylan Thomas and R. S. Thomas.
Enjoy!
