About the readers:

Ophira Gottlieb is a writer from Glasgow, living in West Yorkshire. She works full-time as a journalist, and has had poetry published in PN Review, Harana Poetry, and New Writing Scotland. She mostly writes poems about sheep but that’s more of a coincidence than a rule. 

Canadian poet Evan Jones lives in Manchester. His latest collection is Later Emperors (Carcanet 2020).

Sinéad Morrissey is the author of six collections, all published by Carcanet, and the recipient of both the T.S. Eliot Prize and the Forward Prize. She is Professor of Creative Writing at Newcastle University and Director of the Newcastle Centre for the Literary Arts. Her memoir Among Communists will be published by Carcanet in March 2026.

Padraig Regan‘s debut poetry collection, Some Integrity (Carcanet, 2022) received the Lambda Literary Award for Gay Poetry 2023 and the Clarissa Luard Prize 2021, and was shortlisted for the John Pollard Foundation International Poetry Prize and the Forward Prize for Best First Collection, as well as longlisted for the Michael Murphy Memorial Prize and the Polari Book Prize.
