Frances Leviston's first collection, Public Dream, was published in 2007 by Picador and shortlisted for the T S Eliot Prize, the Forward Prize for Best First Collection and the Jerwood-Aldeburgh First Collection Prize. Her poems have appeared in the LRB, the Guardian, The Times and the TLS. She works as a freelance reviewer and teacher.
Sam Andreae is one of the leading lights on the young Manchester scene, a founder of the progressive record label Efpi, and a member of several bands including HAQ, Aaargh!, and the Anglo-Swedish Trio Riot. He can also sometimes be seen busking on the streets, where people pay him good money to stop!
