Her performances mix darkness and uncanny humor, and her appearance at Warwick is one not to be missed.

David Morley is the award-winning writer of ten books of poetry. Additionally, he is heralded at the University of Warwick as a beloved teacher, a performer, and a pioneering ecological poet, whose installations in the natural environment have sprouted a whole new genre of slow poetry. His poetry and prose have been translated into several languages, and his book on creative writing has become a bestseller around the world.

Ian Sansom is a powerhouse writer across genres. His newest book, The Norfolk Mystery is now out in paperback and has been named as a Waterstones Summer Book Club Choice, as well as a Book of the Week on BBC Radio 4. He is the author of the popular Mobile Library Mystery Series, and is a regular contributor to the Guardian and The London Review of Books. Amongst all of these accomplishments, he is an influential professor and guide within the Warwick community.

Maureen Freely is a renowned journalist, novelist, translator, as well as the president of English PEN. Sunday Times and Times Literary Supplement named her book, Sailing through Byzantium, one of the best novels of 2014. She is a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and the chair of the Translators Association. She has translated five books by the Turkish Nobel Laureate, Orphan Pamuk, and among these other duties, she finds the time to be a cherished teacher to her students at Warwick.

 

Jonathan Skinner is a poet, editor, teacher, and pillar of the ecopoetics community. He served as editor of the groundbreaking journal Ecopoetics, which explores creative-critical intersections between writing and ecology. When he isn’t busy shepherding Warwick writers through their early careers, he is writing a book of investigative poems on the urban landscapes of Frederick Law Olmsted.
