Martin Anderson was born and grew up in England, and Shearsman Books first published his work in the 1980s. Anderson has lived a large part of his life as an expatriate and many of his poetry collections have been published abroad. His poetry is, as a result, not well known in the UK, but Shearsman has begun to redress this with a Selected Poems and two slimmer collections, and the prose work, The Hoplite Journals, published in complete form in 2013.
