Anne Berkeley was born in Shropshire and grew up in Lincolnshire. She practised for some years as a solicitor. While studying she had a series of unrelated temporary jobs, some of them the subject of poems in this collection. With the poetry ensemble The Joy of Six she toured widely. Her pamphlet The buoyancy aid and other poems was published by Flarestack in 1997, and her first full collection, The Men from Praga (Salt, 2010), was shortlisted for the Seamus Heaney Centre Prize. She edited Rebecca Elson’s acclaimed posthumous collection A Responsibility to Awe (Carcanet, 2001), which is now a Carcanet Classic.
