Tom Pickard lives on the edge of Fiend’s Fell (so known because of the ferocious winds that prevail there) in the North Pennine Hills on the English-Scottish border. He is the author of ten books of poetry and prose, including The Dark Months of May (Flood Editions, 2004), Hole in the Wall: New and Selected Poems (Flood Editions, 2002) and We Make Ships (Secker & Warburg, 1989). He has also directed and produced a number of documentary films for British television. Pickard is currently writing a libretto, The Ballad of Jamie Allan, for the composer John Harle.
