edit data

Barkolomew Twain is a poet-in-residence at a small, cosy, carpeted home in England. He is known to his confidants, and closest associates simply as Bark Twain.

His work explores the great themes of love, loss, the tyranny of vacuum cleaners, and the existential nature of the 'Good Boy'. His primary influences include Coleridge, the Romantics, and a particularly interesting smell from a discarded pizza box.

He is a noted connoisseur of fallen crumbs and a lifelong scholar of forbidden foods, with a particular focus on cheese and bacon.

When not composing poems, his hobbies include napping with profound purpose, the deconstruction of squeaky toys, and fighting a lifelong, losing battle against his own tail. ...more

Barkolomew Twain liked Rosemarie Hutchinson's review of It's a Dog's Life: The Translated Works of an Existential Dog: " A Masterpiece of Canine Comedy The Humour & The Lore First off, it is laugh-out-loud funny.
