Auriol Bishop

Auriol Bishop inherited her love of Christmas from her parents: a mother whose wisdom sparkles through the pages of this book; and a father who drove the horse-drawn cart that brought Father Christmas to their local town. She first turned her hand to editing anthologies while working as a Creative Director in publishing; and during lockdown began to compile monthly almanacs to send to family and friends, loving the idea that even across distances we can be joined by sharing the same words, ideas and the turning of the seasons.

Auriol is the anonymous editor of two volumes of poetry: Poems for a World Gone to Sh*t and Poems to Fix a F*cked Up World. Christmas is Coming is her first book.
