Mick Imlah

    Michael Ogilvie Imlah, beter bekend als Mick Imlah, was een Schotse dichter en redacteur wiens werk werd gekenmerkt door scherpe observaties en een helder intellect. Zijn poëzie verkende vaak de complexiteit van het moderne leven, waarbij persoonlijke reflecties werden verweven met bredere culturele en maatschappelijke thema's. Imlahs kenmerkende stijl, gemarkeerd door precieze taal en onverwachte wendingen, boeide zowel lezers als critici. Zijn bijdragen hebben een belangrijke stempel gedrukt op de hedendaagse Britse literatuur.

      In this series, a contemporary poet selects and introduces a poet of the past. The editors explain in their prefaces their choice of poems and their personal/critical reactions to them.Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809-92) was born in Somersby, Lincolnshire, the sixth of eleven children of a clergyman. After a childhood marked by trauma, he went up to Cambridge in 1828, where he met Arthur Hallam, whose premature death had a lasting influence on Tennyson's life and writing. His two volumes of Poems (1842) established him as the leading poet of his generation, and of the Victorian period. He was created Poet Laureate in 1850 and in 1883 accepted a peerage.
