Joe Wells, as the situation demands, works mainly as a businessman, occupational therapist, academic, and poet. He has bachelor's and doctorate degrees in occupational therapy, and a diploma and fellowship in management studies. His scholarly works include a chapter in an edited book and several articles in multiple peer-reviewed healthcare journals. However, poetry is his first love, to which he returned after a block spanning over two decades. Since the beginning of 2016, his poems have been published and are forthcoming in several online and in-print literary journals/ magazines.
