Fred D'Aguiar’s The Rose of Toulouse (Carcanet) is a book of geographies tracing the various places the poet has lived, their histories, and his own history as he travels between Britain, Guyana and the USA. Fred has published five collections of poetry and four novels, the first of which, The Longest Memory (Pantheon, 1994), won both the David Higham Prize for Fiction and the Whitbread First Novel Award. He has taught in the US since 1992.

In Revenants (Clutag), his sixth collection, Alan Jenkins explores both childhood and the recent past, both war and love, in a series of poignant poems written in a range of exacting forms. Alan is deputy editor of the Times Literary Supplement and has previously been short-listed for the Forward and T.S. Eliot Awards.
