David Schofield

David Schofield was born in Hong Kong and lived there until he went to the UK to go to university. At the tender age of 18, he arrived and enrolled in Sussex University to study Experimental Psychology. After two years, he realised the only psychology he was experimenting on was himself, so he left to make his own way in the world. In the first four years, he was sharpening his writing skills. After many different jobs and many poems, of which two had some merit, he was selected for a government training course in programming computers. From that moment on, he worked in IT, until finally retiring, having been married twice, divorced twice, and three lovely children to show for that time. He has continued to write poems intermittently during that period, some appearing in anthologies and now he has gathered these poems together. He is still writing, but, as ever, he is his own worst critic. He is currently actively working with musicians to provide lyrics.
