Sebastian Peake‘s blog gives details of the collected poems of his father, Mervyn, coming out from Carcanet later this year. Most famous for Gormenghast, Peake was a great poet and a fantastic illustrator – both of which talents are a little overshadowed now.
He died 50 years ago on November 17th, 1968 and I hope to write more about the work of this fantastic creator over the year.
