His first pamphlet 'queen of the cotton cities' was released to wide acclaim earlier this year.
A native of Mississippi, Benjamin Morris is a PhD student at Cambridge. In 2005 he earned a master's in poetry from the University of Edinburgh; his work has appeared in such publications as Seam, Chapman, Poetry
Southeast, The Independent on Sunday, and the Mays Anthology, and earned such honours as a Pushcart nomination and a Commendation in the National
Poetry Competition. In 2006 he won both the Brewer Hall Prize and the Chancellor's Medal for Poetry at Cambridge.
Neil Singh is a student doctor who has read his poetry alongside major writers including Simon Armitage, Jacob Polley and Carol Ann Duffy. Some of his poems appear in The Mays Anthology 2007 and The National Poetry Anthology 2008. He is currently writing a collection of poetry on the theme of health and disease.
