Geoffrey Winch
Geoffrey Winch originates from Reading in Berkshire where he first trained as a cartographer. Then, after a brief period working in Hampshire, he and wife relocated to Warwickshire. There he was employed by a number of local authorities as a land surveyor, a highway engineer, and finally as a development control engineer until he took early retirement in 2001. They then returned south and now reside near the West Sussex coast.
Geoffrey’s poetry has been regularly published in a number of small press magazines and anthologies since 1992. Latterly his poems have also been published online. He has been a member of Slipstream Poets since 2005, and several of his poems have evolved out of the group’s workshop program.
He has published two collections. In the first, The Morning Light of Dusk (Feather Books, 2004) the poems centre on his relationship with an all-seeing, all-knowing First Cause, and give a . . . clear indication of that spiritual journey common to us all . . . (Bernard M Jackson - Quantum Leap) in . . . a well produced and thought provoking collection . . . (Adrian Green - Littoral).
In his second collection, Turns Along the Garden Path (Poetry Monthly Press, 2007), the poems are more pagan. They are about relationships – person with person, and person with the natural world which, by turns both positive and negative, influence the human spirit. This collection . . . shows a writer honing a distinctive style . . . (Will Daunt - Envoi) containing . . . many heart felt lines . . . (Les Merton - Poetry Cornwall).
