Sarah Law studied literature at Cambridge and London universities, and is currently a Senior Lecturer in Creative Writing at London Metropolitan University, and also an Associate Creating Writing Lecturer for the Open University. She has two poetry collections published by Stride ( Bliss Tangle , 1999, The Lady Chapel , 2003). Perihelion (Shearsman, 2006) was her third collection, and Ascension Notes (Shearsman, 2009) her fourth.

"Sarah Law's work lives between experiment and lyric, the avant-garde and the mainstream, welcoming all with open ears and eyes. Informed by mystery as much as by mastery of form, her work sings in the dark and glows in the silence. She is an astonishing and original voice, whose poetry always entices and delights." — Rupert Loydell
