Mick was born in London but grew up in Hertfordshire. He taught in Kent and Cheshire before moving to Carmarthenshire. The village in the Towy valley where he lives faces the hills above Llyn y Fan Fach and the site of the Bronze Age settlement on Garn Goch. Against this background urban influences and the forces of myth and history converge in his writing, combined with the resilience of nature. A winner of the Welsh Poetry Competition, he reads at open mic events in Carmarthen and Llandeilo. This is his third poetry collection with Cinnamon, previous titles being Burlesque and Light Airs. He has also written a collection of prose pieces, Short Cuts.
