Chris Waters

We’re especially delighted this month to bring you a poet from outside the borders of the U.S. Chris Waters, of Devon, U.K., is a free-lance poet/tutor/storyteller who has worked extensively across southwest England with young and adult groups and audiences. Although performance is his forte, he is equally good on the  page, as you will see below. His poetry has won several national prizes, including the Bridport, which he won twice. He was also a finalist for the Plough Prize, Devon, and for Poetry Wivenhoe. In 2010 he was Writer-in-Residence at the Appledore Book Festival.
