Jack enjoys running, swimming and anything active, particularly beating his flatmate at badminton. He loves listening to new music, watching films, making great tasting coffee in complicated ways, and reading in the sun. He writes regularly and, following his Masters in Creative Writing, has had a small number of poems accepted for publication by websites and journals.
