Patrick Wright

Patrick Wright is a Lecturer in English Literature and Creative Writing at The Open University. His debut poetry collection, Full Sight of Her (Eyewear, 2020), explores themes of love, grief, and psychological complexity through intimate elegies, drawing on personal loss and metaphysical reflections. The work has been critically acclaimed for its emotional depth and lyrical form, particularly addressing liminal spaces between dreams and reality, illness, and the 'Cassandra Complex' of premonitions.

His research interests include psychological trauma in literature, personal narrative, and the intersection of domestic anxiety with surreal imagery. While no formal awards are mentioned, his poetry has received praise from notable figures like Helen Ivory and John McAuliffe for its raw emotional articulation and structural innovation.
