Luke Kennard

Luke Kennard is a British poet, novelist, and academic who has won the Forward Prize for Best Collection and been shortlisted for the Dylan Thomas Prize.

His audiobooks and books appeal to readers and listeners who enjoy literary fiction and poetry that is inventive, intelligent, and refuses to be easily categorised.
