Carl Tomlinson lives on a smallholding in rural Oxfordshire. His work’s appeared in Orbis, South, The Alchemy Spoon, The Hope Valley Journal, Spelt, and several anthologies. In 2019 his poem Market Forces won the Shout out for the Oxford Covered Market competition, and forms part of the market’s audio guide. 

Carl’s debut pamphlet Changing Places was published in 2021 by Fair Acre Press. Helen Mort says of it that it ‘challenge[s] us to move beyond a naïve appreciation of the ‘natural’ and recognise the ways that our landscapes have been profoundly altered by human presence’.
