Richard Godfrey is a scientist who began working with elite GB sportspeople in 1991 and has been an academic at a university in SE England for the last two decades. He was born in Glasgow and brought up in Bearsden, a town in the West of Scotland. He discovered writing poetry 'by accident' in the 1970s and tried to apply a few of the lessons he had learnt during secondary school English classes. In this way, creative writing served many purposes, including self-discovery, finding meaning in life, gaining a better understanding of the weather, natural history, work, relationships, disappointment, loss, and more.
