Biographical note
Clare Brown was Director of the Poetry Book Society from 1996 to 2003. She is the author of The Creation Myths (2005) and Dream Laboratory (2007), both published by Bloomsbury.
Don Paterson’s most recent poetry collection, Landing Light , won the 2001 Whitbread Poetry Award, and also received the 2003 T. S. Eliot Prize – making him the first poet to have won the award twice. He works as a musician and editor, teaches at the University of St Andrews, and lives in Kirriemuir, Scotland.
‘A sparklingly perceptive, intellectually lively, delightfully quirky and, above all, profoundly personal portrait of recent literary history’ <i>The Times</i>
‘The tone is by turns sheepish, apologetic, hesitant, and even mildly cantankerous. In short, this book contains some of the best and most engagingly human prose about the agonies and travails of writing poems that I have read in a long time’ <i>Financial Times</i>
