David R. Morgan has been an arts worker and literature officer, organiser of book festivals, and a writer-in-residence for education authorities, a prison, and a psychiatric hospital (which was the subject of a Channel 4 film, Out of Our Minds). Currently, he teaches 11-18 year olds. David has published various poetry collections, including The Broken Picture Book, Beneath the Dreaming Tree, and Lightbulbs in the Sea. He has also written various works for children, including The Strange Case of William Whipper-Snapper, and Blooming Cats, which won the Acorn Children’s Book Award and was animated for BBC2’s Words and Pictures Plus.

David’s has been described as ‘a poet with a unique voice grounded in surreal nature’ by Ted Hughes and one of ‘the most original writers I’ve come across in years’ by Peter Porter.

Like This Press is proud to publish David’s work.
