“The Roger and Laura Farnworth Residency was integral to the completion of my debut book of poems.

I was able to immerse myself in writing for just under a week, able to block out the usual distractions thanks to the geographical placement of the residency; on the edge of the moors the day consists of only writing and walking, the perfect set up for making work.” — Rachael Allen

Rachael’s first pamphlet of poems Kingdomland was published by Faber & Faber. She is the poetry editor for Granta magazine and co-editor of the poetry anthology series Clinic and the online journal Tender.
