Two very special poets - David Constantine and Vona Groarke

David Constantine is a brilliant poet and performer who has published ten collections, five books of translations and a novel with Bloodaxe. His recent titles include Elder, Nine Fathoms Deep, Collected Poems, and Something for the Ghosts (shortlisted for the Whitbread Prize). He has translated Holderlin, Goethe and other European classics, winning European Poetry Translation Prizes. His own poetry is informed by a profoundly humane vision of the world, often inspired by 'local habitations', people and mythology.

Vona Groarke has published six collections of poetry with the Gallery Press, most recently X, (Feb 2014), a PBS Recommendation. In 2009 she published a translation of the famous keen by Eibhlin Dhubh NiChonaill as Lament for Art O'Leary. This is currently being set as an opera by Irish composer, Irene Buckley. She teaches poetry at the Centre for New Writing at the University of Manchester.
