The Poetry of James Newsome Page 1

Profile

I am 19 and I am currently studying sports science at hull university. I am

a big fan of all kinds of music and love listening to lyrics. I am inspired

by artists such as Brian Wilson from the beach boys, Bob Dylan, John Lennon,

Bob Marley and many more. From listening to of these artists i began to

write lyrics and poetry myself.

I studied English Literature at school and loved the poetry my teachers gave

me to analyse such as William Blake and Ted Hughes.

My biggest hobby though is playing the drums, I have played with various

bands in different genres of music since I was about 13 and my biggest dream

would be to one day be able to use my hobby as a profession.

I wrote lyrics for one of my band but because of the genre of music we were

playing they were fairly simplistic.

I try to hide true meanings within the words of my poems and I hope you

enjoy trying to work them out.

Hopefully you will all enjoy reading them as much as I enjoy writing them,
