CFP #39 – Andrew McMillan

  • Summary

  • Andrew McMillan is a poet and lecturer in creative writing.

Earlier this year, it was voted one of the top 25 poetry books of the past 25 years by the Booksellers Association. Growing up in Darfield, south Yorkshire, Andrew spent his early years looking to go into politics, but switched to poetry in his late teens.
