Geoffrey Aitken
I am an emerging poet in suburban Adelaide, South Australia, with growing credentials at home and abroad. I write as an older poet and former Senior School English teacher concerned for our youth and the problem of mental health along the avenues. I do not dwell. My poetry is brief. I read at open mic here in the suburbs. I love people and poetry equally.

In retirement we are loving living in McLaren Vale enjoying all the Fleurieu Peninsular offers. My passion for cooking comes from my mother Ruth to whom I dedicate this page. My love of entertaining started in the mid 60’s when my father Colin Rees knocked down a wall to make a dining room. The dining table, beautifully crafted by my grandfather Richard Rees, set with the best crockery and glasses, family favourites and the ‘hospitality of the table’ formed the basis of the entertaining we regularly do today. Recipes are either family favourites, classic comfort foods, from reading cookbooks or the latest online blogs.
