Fiction and Poetry

Emerging from the vibrancy and success of our renowned Creative Writing staff, these works include prize-winning poetry, fiction, and children’s writing commissioned by some of the biggest publishing houses in the world.

From intimate local characterisations, to playful twists on popular genres, to globally diverse narratives, our authors reflect the range of the human experience in their creative work, covering an array of topics including Cold-War romance, cultures of masculinity, climate change, colonialism and migration, Victorian waste, murder in the world of fashion, and apologetic pigeons!

Reflecting the varied experience and backgrounds of our creative writing staff, these works are set in South Asia, nineteenth-century London, Paris, Cornwall, Eastern Europe, Scotland, and an oil rig in the North Sea.
