Tristram Fane Saunders lives in London and works as a journalist. The Rake lives in lavish squalor and has never worked in his life. Laura lives nowhere – she's dead, for now – but she is working on a way to solve that problem.
These sly, untrustworthy poems tell the story of a nameless, ageless dandy – his slow decline, and his well-deserved fall. Take a ride in the Rake's carriage, but keep an eye on your purse.

Tristram Fane Saunders lives in London and works as a journalist. His poems have appeared in The TLS, The White Review and New Poetries VIII. His pamphlet Woodsong won the Poetry Business New Poets Prize, and he is the editor of Edna St Vincent Millay: Poems and Satires.
