Frances Corkey Thompson

Seven of my poems appeared in Oxford Poets 2007, pub Carcanet, eds Bernard O’Donoghue and David Constantine. One poem, 'Severance', appears here in the Poems section. Seven of the Oxford Poets read in Paris, at the famous bookshop ‘Shakespeare & Co’, in September 2008, and later the same year at the Appledore Book Fair in Devon.

'Shakespeare & Co' is the Paris bookshop that first published Joyce's Ulysses. Oxford Poets did a pavement reading. Tremendous atmosphere.
