Keith Dowell

Keith Dowell describes himself as a ruggedly handsome, athletic, suave intellectual; latish-middle-age with his own hair and teeth. He collects wood shavings and national monuments as a hobby. He has a family who speak to him. His two daughters and two sons know him, affectionately, as the one at home called Dad. His wife is an expert. He has a social conscience, which he enters in shows. He is a fashion icon, a creative legend and an all-round good egg, but most of all a very modest raconteur. Keith says: "My narrative poems are based on true stories, so you want the truth: I have retired, but I still lead a very active life, including lots of Voluntary work and some travelling. I have spent most, but not all of my life, teaching, lecturing, and leading youth and adult clubs in mainstream establishments and in special education. I have wide interests encompassing Art, Literature, Drama, Music, Sport, and Travel."
