Tara Bergin' s third collection, Savage Tales continues to explore original territory, bringing the riddle, song and dialogue into a series of formally inventive and blackly comic sequences. Bergin' s book asks us to steer our way through a chorus of exchanges and situations, as she charts the fraught course between the making of individual poems and, uneasy bedfellow of this sustained activity, an authority which is always here called into question. Dramatizing the contemporary and the classic with great wit, ingenuity and panache, Savage Tales confirms Bergin as one of the outstanding poets of our time.
' Bergin' s is an original voice of great power that flicks between speech and song, and between the borrowed and the wholly owned, with consummate ease. ' - W. N. Herbert (Chair of the 2017 T. S. Eliot Prize Judging Panel)
Tara Bergin was born and grew up in Dublin. She moved to England in 2002 and currently lives in Yorkshire.

She has published two collections of poetry with Carcanet Press, This is Yarrow (winner of the Seamus Heaney Prize for Poetry), and The Tragic Death of Eleanor Marx (shortlisted for the T. S. Eliot and Forward Prizes).
