Christopher Cotton is a British poet and writer whose work blends wit, scholarship, and cultural reflection. His earlier books include The Unpicked Thread Trilogy (Frayed, Encounters and Situations), exploring technology, empathy, and the threads that hold us together — and pull us apart — and Caricatures, a gentle satire of the stereotypes we all know and encounter. More recently, he has turned to explorations of language and taboo in The Poetry of the Profane, His writing is often informed by etymology, history, and lived experience, weaving humour with serious inquiry into how words shape identity and culture. He lives quietly in Suffolk with his beloved wife and dogs.
