Nick Laird is a poet and novelist. Born in County Tyrone, in 1975, he studied at Cambridge University, and worked as a lawyer before becoming a full-time writer. His first book of poems, To a Fault (Faber, 2005), was hailed by Colm Toibin as “the most auspicious debut in Irish poetry since Paul Muldoon”. In the same year he published his first novel, Utterly Monkey. A second poetry collection, On Purpose, followed in 2007, and the novel Glover’s Mistake in 2009. His third collection Go Giants was published in 2015 and his third novel, Modern Gods, appeared in 2017. His fourth poetry collection, Feel Free was shortlisted for the T. S. Eliot Prize in 2018.
Charles I. Armstrong is a professor of English Literature at the University of Agder, Norway. Born in Lorenskog (in Norway) in 1969, he earned his PhD from the University of Bergen in 2001. His research interests range from Irish literature, particularly W. B. Yeats, to English poetry from the Romantic period to the present, as well as literary theory. He is currently president of both EFACIS (the European Federation of Associations and Centres of Irish Studies) and the International Yeats Society, and has previously been president of the Nordic Association of English Studies, the Nordic Irish Studies Network and academic co-director of the Yeats Summer School. He is also the current group leader for literature in the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters. In addition to co-editing several essay collections, he has published three monographs: Romantic Organicism: From Idealist Origins to Ambivalent Afterlife (Palgrave Macmillan, 2003), Figures of Memory: Poetry, Space, and the Past (Palgrave Macmillan, 2009), and Reframing Yeats: Genre, Allusion and History (Bloomsbury, 2013).
