One time teacher of Literature, language and geography in a school in Karachi, Pakistan. Occasional writer of verse, some stories and quite a few aborted novels. I have developed a deep love for Literature through teaching it to second language English speakers, who amazed me with the depth and sincerity of their responses and sophistication of their written work at O level. I have a particular fondness for Thomas Hardy - novels and poetry - and love the Romantic poets, particularly Keats and Coleridge.
