Clive Norman

I am a retired 72 years ole Englishman, who many years ago had a very magical childhood roaming the hills and valleys of the Cuckmere River, where my brothers and friends also learnt to swim,

I have spent a life in my search for the peace within. guided by a mentor who introduced me to the world of philosophy and religion, whilst guiding me,

Having spent the last 35 years living in virtual solitude, celibate and in meditation and contemplative practices; and the last two in retreat like a Buddhist monk or Holy man I started to write free verse poetry when words started to flow from my mind like a mountain spring bursting forth into the sunlight...

MY books and my poetry are the accumulated knowledge of the last 70 years coming together like the pieces of a giant jigsaw puzzle.
