Carola Luther’s first two collections, Walking the Animals (2004) and Arguing with Malarchy (2011) were published by Carcanet Press. Walking the Animals was shortlisted for the Forward Prize for First Collection. Herd, a pamphlet of poems, was published by The Wordsworth Trust where Carola was Poet in Residence in 2012. She has worked in NGO’s, teaching, and mental health, and written text and lyrics for theatre. She moved to the UK from South Africa in 1981, and now lives in Yorkshire.

Praise for Carola Luther 'Using rhyme, half-rhyme, the possibility of rhyme she creates a poetic rhythm which is extraordinary - as natural as a heartbeat and, in terms of pace, these are poems that take their time. There's no need to rush, no pressure and, as you read them you feel you're in strong and capable hands.'

Hilary Hares, The High Window

'Luther's powers of description make this book a joy to read, with evocative and fresh images... These exquisite images are however grounded in reality: even when the agony of loss lessens and colour returns.'

Mary Mulholland, The Alchemy Spoon

Quote of the Day Carcanet has always been the place to look for considerations of purely literary and intellectual merit. Its list relies on the vision and the faith and the energy of people who care about books, and values. It is thus as rare as it is invaluable.
