Tom Sastry biography

Tom Sastry is political, ironic, emotional, morbid and funny in all the wrong places. His new collection Life Expectancy Begins To Fall is book about people whose retirement plan is dying in the climate wars and whose current plan is pretending everything is fine. It was described by Jonathan Edwards as ?the most important ? and certainly the most entertaining - book about the end of the world I?ve yet found?

Tom?s previous books have been (variously) Poetry School Book of the Year, Poetry Book Society pamphlet choice, highly commended in the Forward Prize and shortlisted for the Seamus Heaney First Collection Prize.
