Greg鈥檚 monograph Coleridge and the Daemonic Imagination (New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2011) won the University English Book Prize 2012, and established him as a pre-eminent scholar in the field. The book presents a comprehensive and radical new reading of Coleridge鈥檚 rich and notoriously complex body of work, based upon the seminal drama it discovers at the heart of his poetry and philosophy, and its signature embodiment in the daemonic figure. In developing this reading, the book explores afresh the relationship between politics, metaphysics and religion in the 1790s and beyond; the dilemmas of organicism; the role of the will in poetry and philosophy; Coleridge鈥檚 relationship to Wordsworth; Coleridge鈥檚 philosophy of language; contesting ideas of 鈥榥ature鈥�; 鈥榬eason鈥� and the idea of the Fall in Coleridge鈥檚 reading of theology, mythology and poetry; and the form, content and purpose of poetry in relation to the supernatural. Coleridge and the Daemonic Imagination has been described as 鈥榓 subtle and erudite meditation on Coleridge鈥檚 poetry, making frequently brilliant connections with his notebooks, essays, and letters鈥� (Richard Holmes, biographer of Coleridge and author of The Age of Wonder); 鈥榓 new way into Coleridge ... a compelling and encompassing account of a powerfully heterodoxical mind鈥� (Professor Seamus Perry, Balliol College, Oxford); and 鈥榓n exciting book and necessary not only for readers of Coleridge and Wordsworth but also for anyone interested in how poetry is made鈥� (Professor J.C.C. Mays, University College, Dublin, Bollingen editor of Coleridge's complete Poetical Works). Following the prize and international recognition of the book鈥檚 achievement, Greg was nominated by University English to be the United Kingdom plenary lecturer for the European Society for the Study of English Conference 2014 in Ko拧ice, Slovakia, on the basis that his work is 鈥榓 most excellent representative of current and cutting-edge British scholarship鈥�.

Greg is currently working on two further monographs that extend his ground-breaking work on Coleridge: the first on the relation between poetry, nature, and the transnatural, and the second on the ways in which Coleridge鈥檚 philosophical engagement with religion exceeds its nominally Christian context, and articulates its principles in language that anticipates a post-religious basis for their authority. A third monograph currently in preparation 鈥� at once a credo and manifesto 鈥� sets out Greg鈥檚 pioneering thinking on poetry and the transnatural in relation to the reading and writing of poetry today.

Greg鈥檚 recent essays include studies of the wild in Coleridge鈥檚 poetry and thought; poetry, walking, and landscape; Byron鈥檚 influence on British poetry since 1945; the poetics of Coleridge鈥檚 letters; the relationship between poetry, fiction and truth; Ted Hughes and shamanism; Keats, the Hunt circle and the 鈥楥ockney School鈥�; the comic imagination in Charles Lamb and Coleridge; the lyric impulse in Wordsworth鈥檚 Poems, in Two Volumes; entries on 鈥楳oon鈥�, 鈥極racle鈥�, and 鈥楴ature鈥� for the Encyclopedia of the Bible and its Reception; the relationship between poetry and criticism in the work of Ted Hughes; and the first ever published close reading of Coleridge鈥檚 largely unknown poem, 鈥極rpheus鈥�.

Greg鈥檚 work as a poet 鈥� with its distinctive focus on auricular form and the imaginative fusion of the sensuous and the numinous, the lyric and the mythic, the natural and the transnatural 鈥� has achieved international recognition and acclaim. His collection Maskwork (Nine Arches Press, 2020) was described by novelist Jim Crace as 鈥榓 masterclass in artistry and gracefulness鈥�; his debut full-length collection, The Fetch (Nine Arches Press, 2016) was described by David Morley as 鈥榯errific, precise, and dazzling鈥�.

His poetry has been commissioned for and broadcast on the BBC, and published widely both in anthologies and some of the most influential poetry journals produced in the United Kingdom and beyond, including The Hudson Review, The Poetry Review,听Wild Court, Poetry Birmingham Literary Journal, The Rialto, Magma and Poetry London. In 2013 he was awarded a Hawthornden Fellowship, and his poetry has received numerous other literary distinctions.
