Dr Simon Smith
Reader in Creative Writing
About
I worked at The Poetry Library on the fifth floor of The Royal Festival Hall in London from 1991-2007, and was its Librarian from 2003 until 2007. I taught Creative Writing at London South Bank University where I devised and led the BA and MA, and at the Open University. I have taught at the University of Kent since 2006.
My main interest is writing poetry; nine full-length collections have appeared: Fifteen Exits, Reverdy Road, Mercury, London Bridge, 11781 W. Sunset Boulevard, More Flowers Than You Could Possibly Carry: Selected Poems 1989-2012, Day In, Day Out, some Municipal Love Poems and The Books of Catullus.
