Tony QuarringtonTony was born in Rochester in Kent 1952. When he was first taken on holiday by his parents to the coastal town of Folkestone, fifty miles away, at the age of ten, little would he have thought that, more than half a century later, he would not only reurn to the town to live but be publishing a book of poetry inspired by it. Following studies for a BA (Honours) degree in English and European Literature and MA in Anglo-Irish Literature, Tony had a thirty year career in civil service management, retiring in 2009. He has always written, jointly publishing the cricket book, "A Half-Forgotten Triumph: The Story of Kent's County Championship Title of 1913" in commemoration of its centenary. It was nominated for both the Wisden and Sports Book of the Year awards. Since he moved with his wife to Folkestone in 2016, he has not only written and performed his poetry in a variety of locations, notably coffee houses and even on the street, but also created and run a series of literary evenings and conducted popular walking tours of the local area. This is his first collection of poetry. Read More Read Less
