Prize-winning poet Philip Gross talks to fellow writer Jem Poster about his recent collection, Love Songs of Carbon, a remarkable celebration of human love in the face of entropy and decay.

A number of his collections, including Love Songs of Carbon, have been Poetry Book Society recommendations, and in 2010 he was winner of both the prestigious T. S. Eliot Prize and the Wales Book of the Year Award. A substantial collection of his work, Changes of Address: Poems 1980-1998, was published in 2001.

Poet and novelist Poster is emeritus professor of creative writing, Aberystwyth University, and director of academic programmes for the FT Weekend Oxford Literary Festival.
