Chris McCabe’s work crosses artforms and genres including poetry, fiction, non-fiction, drama and visual art. He was shortlisted for the Ted Hughes Award in 2013 and his five collections of poetry are The Hutton Inquiry, Zeppelins, THE RESTRUCTURE, Speculatrix and The Triumph of Cancer, which was a Poetry Book Society Recommendation. His first novel, Dedalus, was published in 2018 and was shortlisted for the 2019 Republic of Consciousness Prize. His latest novel is Mud, a version of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth, set beneath Hampstead Heath. His non-fiction work includes an ongoing series of books which document his search to discover a great forgotten poet in one of London’s Magnificent Seven cemeteries; titles include In the Catacombs, Cenotaph South and The East Edge: Nightwalks with the Dead Poets of Tower Hamlets, all published by Penned in the Margins. He is the co-editor of The New Concrete: Visual Poetry in the 21st Century and the editor of Poems from the Edge of Extinction: An Anthology of Poetry in Endangered Languages. He works as the UK’s National Poetry Librarian.
