About Me
I am a novelist, poet and essayist. I’ve published three novels with Faber & Faber, eight books of poetry and three essay collections. I’ve also published a writers’ handbook and a biography.
I studied English Literature & Film at Sussex University and then completed the Masters in Creative Writing at UEA.
I am a long-standing member of a music collective called Pablo’s Eye, for whom I write texts & titles.
I am Director of the Fiction Programme at Faber Academy, where I teach a variety of courses on fiction, non-fiction & life writing.
I also run a small press called Vanguard Editions, which publishes books of poetry, essays, stories, translations and art-writing plus, since 2020, the annual poetry magazine 14.
