Chris Armstrong

Sailor and librarian, navigator and researcher, teacher and trainer, and—always—a traveller: Chris Armstrong has had three careers, working as a merchant seaman, a farmhand on the farm where he still lives, and as an information scientist before retiring to become a poet and writer. He has one collection of poems in print, Mostly Welsh (Y Lolfa, 2019). Although initially entirely focussed on poetry, his writing has branched into short stories and works of fiction including this volume, The Dark Trilogy. He has published elsewhere: in Storgy, Agenda and London Grip New Poetry for example. Although born in Sussex, he has lived in a cottage in the mountains of Mid Wales most of his life.
