Michael Macklin was my neighbor, he was also a Poet/writer and fostered the art of writing for young people where he worked, more as the cool facilities manager.at(Waynflete School) in 2012 Michael was doing a Writer's retreat and passed away in his sleep. In 2010 I walked next door to Michael's house for (finally) recording some of his poems, we were to do videos the years of his passing but death has a way of changing one's plans.
