Emma Jones

Emma Jones, an Australian, is currently poet-in-residence at the Wordsworth Trust
in Grasmere, Cumbria, England, and is author of one volume of verse, The Striped
World (Faber & Faber, 2009), which won both Australia’s Queensland Premier’s
Literary Award, as well as the Forward Poetry Prize for first book, the UK's most
prestigious award for a first book of poems.
