Drinks With Dead Poets is a homage to the departed, a tale of the lives and loves of students, a critical guide to great English poetry, the dream of a heavenly autumn. Nothing like it has ever been written.

Poet Glyn Maxwell wakes up in a mysterious village one autumn day. He has no idea how he got there but he has a strange feeling there’s a class to teach. And isn’t that Keats wandering down the lane? Why not ask him to give a reading, do a Q and A, hit the pub with the students afterwards?

Soon the whole of the autumn term stretches ahead, with Byron, the Brontës, the War Poets and many more all on their way to give readings in the humble village hall.

In this one-of-a-kind novel, Maxwell takes writing exercises that he’s used in real classes, and explores them with fictional students and major poets.

Glyn Maxwell is a poet, novelist, and playwright. He has published twelve collections of verse, including Pluto, which was shortlisted for the Forward Prize, Hide Now, which was shortlisted for both the Forward and T.S. Eliot, and The Nerve, which won the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize.
