Matthew Francis
I am a poet, novelist and Reader in Creative Writing at Aberystwyth University. My first poetry collection, Blizzard, was
published in 1996 by Faber and Faber. My second, Dragons, was published in 2001, also by Faber. My novel,
WHOM, was published by Bloomsbury in 1989. I am also the
editor of W.S. Graham's
New Collected Poems, and author of a study of
Graham, Where the People Are. I live in west Wales with
my wife, Creina.
I am also a member of Aberystwyth Chess Club, which
welcomes new members.

I recently returned from a four-week Writers' Retreat at Hawthornden Castle in Scotland.
I have put some photos on Flickr,
