She is the author of Moon Milk (Valley Press, 2018) and Epistolarity and World Literature (Palgrave Macmillan, 2017), and edited the Verse Matters anthology with Helen Mort (Valley Press, 2018). She is currently a Leverhulme Research Fellow at the University of Leeds, where she is researching the links between poets in Leeds and Nigeria in the 1950s and 60s. Rachel’s poems have featured in a number of magazines, including Stand, New Welsh Review, The Interpreter’s House, Frontier and Popshot Magazine. She has also been shortlisted for the London Magazine Poetry prize, and her poems have won several other prizes. Twitter @rachelebower Website: https://rachelbowerwrites.wordpress.com
