About
2010
Paul Stubbs was born in 1969 in Norwich and now lives in Paris. He received awards for his writing from the Society of Authors and Arts Council East and his second collection, The Icon Maker was published by Arc Publications in 2008 to great critical response. His poems have appeared in a variety of anthologies and magazines, including The Wolf, Poetry Review, The Shop, and he has also reviewed for different publications (Agenda, Poetry Wales, The Wolf, 3:AM magazine, Poetry Nottingham…). Paul Stubbs has written a play, The Messiah, and English versions of two classical Greek plays, Euripides’ The Bacchae and Aeschylus’ Prometheus Unbound. He was invited to read his poems at various places, including the Seamus Heaney Centre in Belfast, the King’s Lynn Festival and in New York (Bowery Poetry Club). His third collection will be released in 2012. A long poem, Ex Nihilo, was published in September 2010 by Black Herald Press and another long poem, Flesh, is introduced here. He is currently working on his fourth collection of poems. With Blandine Longre, he also co-edits The Black Herald, a partly bi-lingual international literary magazine.
