James Crompton

James Crompton is an earlier host of Poetry Live and a regular poet there.
He has had several poems published in various journals such as “Tongue in Your Ear” and “Live Lines”.
His poetry crosses from the worldly to the otherworldly, with a lot of his poems drawing influence from his experience of staying 10 months in an ashram type setting in America training to teach a type of meditation called the Ishaya’s Ascension.
There is therefore regularly a contemplative or philosophical viewpoint expressed in much of his work, often with a slightly humorous bent.
He is releasing a selection of poems entitled “Autumn” in the second Tuesday in May at “Poetry Live”
