If it were not for Carcanet, my library would be unbearably impoverished.

Carola Luther’s most recent collection On the Way to Jerusalem Farm was published by Carcanet Press in September 2021, and has been shortlisted for the 2022 Derek Walcott Prize for Poetry. Her two earlier collections, Walking the Animals (2004) and Arguing with Malarchy (2011) were also published by Carcanet Press.
Walking the Animals was shortlisted for the Forward Prize for First Collection in 2004. Carola was Poet in Residence at the Wordsworth Trust in 2012, and the Trust published her poetry pamphlet Herd in the same year.
She was born in South Africa, and moved to the UK in 1981. She now lives and works in the Yorkshire Pennines.
'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
