A 33-year gap separated the publication of Aidan Semmens’s first poetry pamphlet by Lobby Press in 1978 and his first full collection, A Stone Dog , by Shearsman in 2011. He has since edited By The North Sea ; an anthology of Suffolk poetry (2013) and relaunched Molly Bloom , a magazine he founded in 1981, as an online-only publication. He lives in Suffolk and is a freelance journalist.
