Leon Rooke, author Fabulous Fictions & Peculiar Practices, Hot Poppies, The April Poems, The House on Major Street, Rank Songbirds, and The Happiness of Others.
Rooke is an international reveller, skirt-chaser and former wastrel whose celebrated oeuvre may have been ghosted by his wicked half-sister, or maybe his mother, or an eighteenth-century ‘Keeper of the Lamps’. But not this one. We may wonder why. Also, he’s a raffish [ed. note: charming] bum.
