Research interests
My book The Alvarez Generation: Thom Gunn, Geoffrey Hill, Ted Hughes, Sylvia Plath and Peter Porter (Liverpool University Press, 2015) is on the generation of poets who succeeded the Movement. Other recent research includes work on the neo-romantics (Dylan Thomas, Vernon Watkins, George Barker and W.S. Graham), on Edward Thomas, Rupert Brooke and Philip Larkin. I have also been a frequent book reviewer for publications including the Guardian, the London Review of Books, Poetry Review and the Times Literary Supplement. My PhD was on the long poems of David Jones, Basil Bunting, Geoffrey Hill and Roy Fisher. I have also researched into the history of Penguin books, co-editing and contributing to Reading Penguin (Cambridge Scholars 2013). Poems of mine have appeared in magazines including New Walk, PN Review, Poetry Review, Rialto the Spectator and the Times Literary Supplement.
