Dreams of the Caucasus is Norman Jope's third collection, after For The Wedding-Guest (Stride Publications, 1997) and The Book of Bells and Candles (Waterloo Press, 2009). He has also co-edited the anthology In the Presence of Sharks: New Poetry from Plymouth (Phlebas, 2006) and a Critical Companion to Richard Berengarten (Salt, 2010). Born in Plymouth, he works as an administrator at University College Plymouth St Mark & St John and has been closely involved with his home city's tumultuous poetry scene, particularly The Language Club, both as exile and resident since 1992. Since 1996, he has also led an intermittent parallel life in Budapest.
