Penelope’s most recent publication is her Iota/Shots pamphlet, In the Snowy Air, Templar, June 2014. Unsent: New and Selected Poems 1980-2012, appeared from Bloodaxe Books in October 2012. A new Bloodaxe collection, entitled Will You Walk a Little Faster, is in preparation, as is Heath, a book-length sequence of poems on the theme of Hounslow Heath, written in collaboration with John Greening.

John Greening received a Cholmondeley Award from the Society of Authors in 2008. He is winner of the Bridport and the TLS Prizes, and has been a Hawthornden Fellow and a Fellow of the English Association. He reviews poetry for the TLS and is one of the judges for the Eric Gregory Awards. Recent publications include Hunts: Poems 1979-2009 and Poetry Masterclass (Greenwich Exchange, 2011), Knot (Worple, 2013) and To the War Poets (Carcanet, 2013). This August, his edition of Edmund Blunden’s Undertones of War appears from Oxford University Press, and before that a major anthology of poems about composers, Accompanied Voices (Boydell Press).
