Chris Athorne
Most of Chris Athorne's published work is in mathematics but poetry has been important to him throughout his life. Recent work has appeared in Acumen, MAGMA, Poetry Scotland, and The Ekphrastic Review, as well as in the anthologies Apocalyptic Landscape: Poems from the Expressionist Poetry Workshop (Valley Press, 2024) and Lines of Communication (The Wee Sparrow Poetry Press, 2025). A Book of Songs is his first pamphlet. It draws on his experiences of singing, referring to the sacred, Lieder and Art Song traditions. He enjoys running, dancing the tango, drawing, playing the piano, and fine wine. He lives in Glasgow with his partner, Oonagh.
