Simon Barraclough
His debut poetry collection, Los Alamos Mon Amour (Salt Publishing) was shortlisted for 2008's Best First Collection in the Forward Prizes. Bonjour Tetris, a boxed mini-book of commissioned poems, has just come out from Penned in the Margins. As a well established film reviewer Simon’s reading is timed to coincide with the finale of the Cambridge Film Festival.
John Greening in the Times Literary Supplement wrote
'Any poet from Huddersfield must be within earshot of Simon Armitage and there are familiar elements (not least a torrential energy) in Simon Barraclough’s first collection ...London Whale shows how it should be done, with fluidity, delicacy, and tonal variety ...
There are several shorter (often sonnet-length) poems which balance everything successfully ... and ingenious miniatures.
This is very good writing ... a beautifully produced highly readable collection.'
