Ainsley Burrows is a former member of the world famous NuYorican Café poetry slam team, a highly respected international poet and undoubtedly one of the finer surrealist poets of his generation.
After a childhood spent in Jamaica, he dabbled with poetry while studying for a BA in Accounting and eventually quit academia to write full-time in the first year of an MBA after a near-fatal accident caused him to re-evaluate his life. He emerged as a respected poet in New York in the late 1990s and soon visited the UK where he also gained a loyal following.
Ainsley has since read at several universities and colleges worldwide, and been featured at festivals such as the Wordstock Festival in New York and the Lancaster Literature Festival in the UK. He is the author of Black Angels with Sky Blue Feathers, The Woman who Isn’t Was and, most recently, The Wolf Who Cried Boy. He resides in New York and has recently completed his first novel.
