John Eaton is a poet and song writer, also a nurse and carehome manager. He lives and works in Taunton, Somerset, UK. John started writingin the COVID lockdown as a means of staying sane, and of keeping in touch andbuilding his relationship with his granddaughter, Evaleigh. He has always hadan affinity with the English language. Space and time created by the pandemicprovided him with the opportunity to create. John is passionate aboutencouraging literacy and a love of the English language. When John left school,he didn't know what, if anything, he might be good at. As one of eight childrengrowing up on a council estate, he didn't aspire to a higher purpose. However,working in a psychiatric hospital and qualifying as a Mental Health Nurse(RMN), then as a Registered General Nurse (RGN), led him overseas. He went onto establish a successful healthcare training business and, subsequently, agrowing care home in Somerset. His work is inspired by the people, punishment,pathos, and humorous proclamations he encounters in his day job. John's first collection of poems, Thoughts from a FarawayPlace (Austin Macauley) was published in 2021. Thus far, John has alsowritten and produced more than a dozen Spid the Spider books for children, andthree accompanying albums, as well as many songs supporting the Ukrainianrelief effort, including the album, Under Ukrainian Skies. The music wasmostly composed by Pete Dymond, Dymond Studios. Listen to musical versions ofJohn's work at https://soundcloud.com/john-eaton-205933369 and on all good streamingservices

'There is such a breadth of material here. John'simagination is amazing and I love the way he plays with word sounds, and movesfrom a nonsense-type poem to something quite poignant.' Alexa Tewkesbury,Author and Editor
