| Chris McCabe (b. 1977) is a widely-published poet and Joint Librarian of the Poetry Library. His first collection, The Hutton Inquiry, was welcomed by the Guardian as evidence of a poet who combined "the lower-case lightness of Tom Raworth and the northern comic realism of Simon Armitage", and has been followed by two further publications, Zeppelins and The Borrowed Notebook.
Iain Sinclair has described McCabe's work as "brisk and self-confident", and the quietly forceful reading style in this performance would encourage any listener to agree. The important events that are significant to a piece are flagged in his introductions, as are any unusual stylistic decisions, making this a reading that welcomes its audience into its exhilarating blend of urgency and passion.
