Gareth Prior's poems have been published in the annual Templar anthology, shortlisted for the Keats-Shelley Prize and commended in the Basil Bunting Awards. By day he works in research publishing; the rest of the time he is noisily opinionated about poetry (some of which finds its way into his reviews at www.garethprior.org). He also writes opera libretti and knows a bit too much about obscure French dessert wines.
