It is with great sadness that we say farewell to our client, the award-winning poet Michael Longley CBE.

Over the course of a career spanning 60 years, Michael became one of the most admired and influential poets of his generation. He will be sorely missed, but he leaves behind an amazing collection of work that will continue to move and inspire readers around the world.

Our thoughts and hearts are with his wife Edna and their three children.
