Giles Goodland is a British poet who lives in London and works as Senior Research Editor, Oxford English Dictionary.

His first book of poetry was published in 1996 by Oversteps Books, and since then he has published three more poetry books, from Salt, Shearsman, and Leviathan poetry presses. They have all been long poems or sequences. A forthcoming book from Salt will collect his shorter poems. In addition, he has had plays performed, winning several poetry competitions (for instance, the Arvon International Poetry Competition, judged by Andrew Motion), he has written reviews of poetry, and participated in poetry festivals in Dublin and Cambridge.

He has a strong interest in poetry from the former Yugoslavia, since my wife was born in Vojvodina, of mixed Serb and Montenegrian parentage.
