Welcome to Bill Greenwell's site

Welcome to www.billgreenwell.com. This is a web-site with several functions, but please do feel free to browse different areas. Here’s a rough guide.

Courses and Workshops

Bill is a creative writing and literature teacher, at university and sixth form level. This section of the site shows you how to enrol on to the courses Bill is running. It also gives you details of courses or workshops in creative writing, literature and general studies which you can book Bill to run for you.

Parodies, Satirical Poems, Poems, Articles

There are several different sections, which you are welcome to browse. Under Satirical Poems, you’ll find the whole text of the now out-of-print Tony Blair Reminds Me Of A Budgie, and many other poems written during a nine-year stint as New Statesman’s house poet. You’ll also find two hundred published and unpublished poems. There is also an archive of some of Bill’s articles.

Whilst waiting for Impossible Objects, why not buy Spoof, Bill's new collection of parodies? An ideal Christmas gift!
