about

Chris has found his experience of church to be "mixed" to put it mildly. He has suffered under abusive christian leadership, and is deeply troubled by a culture of christian superstardom he sees in leaders and musicians.
Yet he still has a desire for authenticity, and for the carpenter who is at the heart of the christian story.

about

Milborn House Colchester, UK

Chris Pitts writes in the tradition of English landscape poets. He uses the medium of ‘Symphonic folk’ to give a sense of Pathos to his work.
Although a lot of his work is melancholy it is by no means all like that, the thumping fervour of Arnold Plum tells us that he can be tongue in cheek even when the lyric is serious.
