He graduated with a BA in English Literature and Creative Writing from the University of East Anglia in 2004. [2] He won an Eric Gregory Award in 2012. [3]

In 2022, he published a peer-reviewed study of the interplay between poetry and video games, in which he coined the term ludokinetic poetry to describe poetry that "goes further than simply giving the reader the ability to physically manipulate the text or move through it multidirectionally [...] The intended effect is for the reader to become (and to recognise themselves as) a player of the poem, by making them—or rather, their ludic self—a feature of the text, operating it from within as well as from without". [4] Along with his own work, his cited examples included works by Porpentine.
