A propos de cet article

Edwin Brock archive: 21 Original pen and ink illustrations for poems by his wife, the artist, Elizabeth Brock. Each illustration has a hand-written title and page number, with Edwin Brock stamp on reverse, with hand written addition 'Mrs.' No date given; however the Collection includes illustration for 'To His Love in Middle-Age', a 1979 poem; therefore possibly from the collection 'With The River and the Train', Edwin Brock's sixth collection to be published by New Directions, with "a focus the pastoral though complex irony of life in a converted East Anglian granary." More research may prove rewarding; the freshness of the illustrations appear to be 1990s. Other illustration titles include 'Tas in March' 'A Man of The World' 'The Bird With Mother' and 'The Nature of Memory (A)' /Edwin Brock (1927Ð1997) was a British poet. Brock published ten volumes of poetry from 1959 through his death in 1997. Born into a working class London family, Brock discovered poetry when he picked up an anthology during idle time while serving in World War II. He taught himself how to write verse and spent many years writing while working as a policeman and, later, a successful advertising copywriter. He was included in the prestigious Penguin Modern Poets 8 in 1966 and was the author of several poetry collections, including Five Ways To Kill A Man (1990). He also wrote one novel and a memoir, Here. Now. Always. (1977). He was poetry editor of Ambit from 1960 until his death in 1997. Very good indeed.
