Glover is the Poetry Editor of The Tablet and a senior art critic and feature writer for The Independent. He has been a regular reviewer and commentator upon the world of poetry for The Times, the New Statesman and The Economist.^[2] He has written about poetry in performance for the Financial Times.

He wrote the Headlong Into Pennilessness memoir about growing up in a working-class suburb of Sheffield in the 1950s. Sebastian Barker, former chairman of the Poetry Society and Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, called it "charming and fascinating".^[3] Bill Hamilton, literary agent of author Hilary Mantel, describes it as a "vivid and true" picture of the kinds of life endured by tens of thousands of working-class families struggling to make ends meet in Northern Britain in the post-war austerity years.^[4]
