He is the director of Writers’ Centre Kingston at Kingston University and European Poetry Festival in the UK.

In summer 2023 he was commissioned by the National Gallery (London, UK) to write new poems on paintings of choice as well as interacting and improvising with gallery guides, during three Friday night lates events.

At the BONE W ORT Steve will do a poetry performance, a practice he describes as «playing with the potential of a live literature – with space, voice, interaction, physicality – being in the room, with an audience. Often improvised, but resolutely poetic.»
