Charles Boyle (poet)
Charles Boyle (born in Leeds in 1951) is a British poet. He has also published a novella, 24 for 3, under the pseudonym Jennie Walker.[1]
Boyle read English at Cambridge, taught in a Sheffield comprehensive and in Egypt,[2] and worked in publishing, including several years at Faber and Faber.
He is best known for writing The Age of Cardboard and String. This book of poems had favourable reviews from The Guardian[3] and Magma Poetry[4].
In 2007, as a result of his difficulty in getting 24 for 3 published, he set up CB editions[5] (http://www.cbeditions.com), a small press dedicated to novellas, translations and writing in other genres often neglected by mainstream publishers.
