Brenda Williams see also Barry Tebb
|
|
Brenda Williams was born in Leeds in 1948. Leading protest poet. Her
'sit-in' protests at Leeds University in 1983/84 were followed by two at
Oxford, the second, in1994 concerning the election to the Chair of Poetry,
gaining nation wide publicity with a full-page profile in 'The Times
Higher Educational Supplement', "A Well-Versed Protester" and
'The Yorkshire Post" which first published the poem 'Oxford'.
Other work of Brenda Williams have appeared in Poetry Now Newsletter and
Fan the Flames. Maybe her best known poem is 'Beethoven-Cavatina' which was
an outstanding poem of the international magazine 'Interactions'. Her
long poem 'Death and Maiden' -completed in 1984 - is published by Sixties
Press in 2001. Upon which internationally acclaimed poet James Kirkup
wrote:
Death and the Maiden of course has to be read
aloud, but even so I hear a very powerful voice behind the print, and a
definite human character. The language is so direct, yet full of disturbing
and illuminating echoes, an orchestra heard of a distance, or a street band
gradually approaching climaxes like "I sing of a maiden" and
"world without end". It is an oratorio on a grand scale,….
Death and the Maiden tells the story of three
generations of women, the Irish peasant grandmother, the emigrant nurse
mother and the poet daughter who has been exposed to and who has become a voice
of High Modernism at it's most complex.
Brenda is also working or by now has completed the epic 'The Pain
Clinic". Of which an excerpt already was published in The Fordwych
House Extract and other Poems (Sixties Press 2001).
Mark Floyer of KONFLUENCE about the poetry of Brenda Williams: 'How
does Brenda Williams manage to turn such exquisitely natural sounding
sonnets on such an anvil of pain?

Beautiful painful poetry sent on colourful pages. Illustrated with happy
and most unhappy blood gusting drawings in green metallic ink. Was supposed
to be a silver screen queen. Dreams of passionate and romantic night on
Richmond Manor Houses,…Writes to escape dispassionate existence (was said
in 2000) when married and 33 years of age! 3 male offspring. Want loads of
money and be surrounded with artistic and spiritual people. Wonders and
wanders, will she ever be famous then? Poetry in Artwork strikethrough

About the English/partial Welsh collection Other Places was said:
-a collection, imbued, with a sense of displacement and loss, the
sadness would have been overwelming were it not for the silver vein of
language running through and the music of words. (Jill Bamber)
-These poems, are all heart - landscape romantically (and
competently) portrayed, text soaked with loss and exile from people and
places: at times gleaming with uncluttered lyricism. (Roselle Angwin)

A glossy purple collage booklet with poems from Jesse Glass (a blast
from the past!), Richard Heley, C.W.Byrne, the dubious Dawn Glew, the
editor and a nice sound and performance item by Eric Wong. Lots of cut-ups
of editorial graphics, college workbooks, job rejections, advertising
slogans, instruction booklets, etc. One to play with. Good idea.

"(Morton's)" poetry is very individual, having racy,
conversational style, with rhyme being used to point phrases, rather than
as a deliberate poem pattern. He has strong sense of the sounds of language
and his play on words is a real pleasure to listen to. In his first poem,
my own favourite, the title, 'No fun is fair grounds to go', used as a
recurring thematic strand throughout, is a good example, spattered with wry
para-rhymes." "(Morton's is)---an original poetic voice - very
much of our time."

Notes on “Pavement poems” in the PCM’s 16,18 and 19:
All words are taken from the ground, from utility covers and
symbols, and from objects Rupert felt confident enough to pick up and take
home, where they were then placed in a box with a perspex lid. These object
were described as objectively as possible and any writing upon them was
also included. The words have been written as they where found, hence the
words follow the paths walked.

Beautiful measured poems, deserves the attention of all those who
appreciate good poetry. Gathers together elememnts of a contemplation,
protagonist, goes on a series of meanderings, all 'making strange' the
everyday. Smith presents ideas and images, symbols and lyrical tropes in
ways which many other contemporary poets could benefit from considering.
-He is a distinctive and important poet, ever sensitive to, even
obsessed by, the fluidity and transience of surfaces: impressed, yet
shocked by the dead weight and rigidity of solid centres. His poetry evokes
a cosmos structured thruogh those elements.

Simon Icke

Simon Icke, lives with wife and 4 sons in Bucks, England. Born in
1955 in Lancashire. He moved to the SE of England in 1983 living near
Brighton for five years before moving to the village of Aston Clinton in
1988.He began writing poetry about life, some with a message and some just
for fun. All his poems are written in a simple rhyming style, however, many
have a cutting edge, that will challenge and provoke the reader to examine
his or her own values and beliefs on a number of issues.
He became interested in writing poetry in 1998 at the time of the
World cup!? When he started to write football poetry. He hoped by linking
poetry to football, he could demonstrate how much fun poetry could be. It
lead to Simon publishing his first poetry book on behalf of Aston Clinton
School: Poetry in motion…Football! Football! Football! An anthology of 61
football poems written by the children and parents of the school including
five by Icke.
Encouraged by the success of Poetry in motion, Simon began to write
poetry more often,…
Poems if Simon Icke found in the CITYPOET issue and the not
Perfect Issue.
Simon Icke has been sufferer of ME/CFS since 1994.

Suffers agony trying to decipher our hand writing. Announces our
spaceship is on its way (to us). Raises glasses to those editior(s) who
once said his poetry was crap and he a rubbish writing charlatan!
Said he liked our anti-poetry theme which of course isn't
anti-poetry, it is real poetry. Concludes the stagnant minds of
establisment think it is anti-. And wants more copies and roams around in
Uttoxeter, England
We like his work and attitude, he has been in our …issue (by
the in-crowd also called the PC issue or Personal Copy Issue) and in the Hairy
one (PCM No 10) where also bits of his email sneaked in.
