'Eyes Wide Open' took shape from two real life events straight from my own past.

The second was a chance encounter forty years ago with none other than, ahem, Charles Manson! ↗

I grew up in a bookless house - my parents didn't read poetry, so if I hadn't had the chance to experience it at school I'd never have experienced it. But I loved English, and I was very lucky in that I had inspirational English teachers, Miss Scriven and Mr. Walker, and they liked us to learn poems by heart, which I found I loved doing. ↗
