Born as a baby (?!) in Essex, the East of England, in 1991, Joe O'Hara-Childs was son of Irish Woman Eileen and (in most part) Anglo-Saxon father Chris.An aptitude for wordplay, emerged in his mid-late Teens, and only developed, perhaps in the shadows, as time went on. Writing his first poem, in an English class, at the age of 16, and then taking that aptitude and asserting it in private as a budding wordsmith - Joe learnt his trade off the back of greats such as Blake and Wordsworth.Raised in the South West of England, but born as aforementioned in the East, Joe felt like an outsider but also at home, in the leafy confines of the Suburb.His ability at wordplay took a backseat as he attended university at the Uni of the North (Cumbria campus) and roamed the Wilds of Manchester, etc.It was evident, that although academic studies, and a different style of writing, dictated flexibility In the pursuit of success, in the academic context, Joe's natural aptitude for worldliness could not stay in the shadow for long.Anyway, now he has his first book of poems out, on Amazon, and his first (tentative) attempt at a novel, fusing his skills of wordplay and narrative strength, out.Regard, here, and enjoy.Read more about this authorRead less about this author
