Michael Edwards' new collection includes 92 poems forming a single long poem that recounts the finding of another world in moments, often dramatic, sometimes everyday, which become doorstones, thresholds.

After studying at Cambridge, where he is now an Honorary Fellow of Christ's College, Michael Edwards taught at the then 'New Universities' of Warwick and Essex (where he succeeded Robert Lowell), before being elected the first British Professor at the Collè ge de France, Paris. Early volumes of poetry and critical works appeared in England; he then turned to French, for further volumes and numerous books continuing to explore the form of Christianity. The first Briton elected to the Acadé mie franç ais, he was knighted in 2014. He lives in Paris and Burgundy.
