Through a programme of mentorship, bursary and pamphlet publication, the Faber New Poets scheme offers four poets a year the time, guidance and encouragement they require to help in the development of their work in the longer term. In 2010, the awarded poets are Joe Dunthorne, Annie Katchinska, Sam Riviere and Tom Warner.
Tom Warner was born in Mansfield in 1979. In 2001 he won an Eric Gregory Major Award and graduated from the University of East Anglia's Creative Writing MA with a Distinction. His poetry has appeared in a number of publications and magazines, including The Rialto and Stand, and he appeared at the Latitude festival 2008. He currently lives in Norwich where he teaches creative writing.
