Mort writes subtle, deft, beautifully observed poems as well as prize-winning short stories. Black Shiver Moss, his masterly 10th collection of poetry, is packed with poems about his native northern counties of Lancashire, Yorkshire and Cumbria, as well as stunning evocations of elsewhere: Africa, Southern Spain, France, Italy.
