Sam Meekings is a British poet and novelist. His novel, Under Fishbone Clouds, about the collision between myth and history in modern China, was called "a poetic evocation of the country and its people" by the New York Times. Meanwhile, the Scottish Review of Books said of his second novel that "The Book of Crows is a profound novel, and Meekings demonstrates a greater degree of ambition than some of his contemporaries." His work has appeared in the Edinburgh Review, New Books Magazine, Identity Parade: New British and Irish poets, V: New International Writing from Edinburgh, Textualities and One Magazine, among others.
