Annie Wright
Annie Wright's hot pamphlet collection Including Sex was published by The Bay Press in 1995. An original and scrupulous writer, her work is rich in sexual lyricism. The poems are sensual, and often frankly sexual, full of taut phrases and energeti explosions of imagery.
Her first full collection, Redemption Songs, was published by Arrowhead Press in 2003. In a review Fred D'Aguiar said, "The poems bristle with nervous energy. They make a style out of vulnerability... the book is a testament to poetry as discovery and surprise. She makes it hard for her reader to look away."
Annie's work has also been published in anthologies, including: Short and Sweet (Penguin Books), Northern Grit, Rewriting The Map, Collecting Stones and Love in Vane (Vane Women Press), North by North-East (IRON Press) and Ink on Paper (Mudfog Press and mima).
She is a founder member of the Vane Women collective in the North East of England. She now lives in South West Scotland where she runs The Lit Room Press and leads poetry workshops.
