Mick Imlah

    Michael Ogilvie Imlah, besser bekannt als Mick Imlah, war ein schottischer Dichter und Herausgeber, dessen Werk sich durch scharfe Beobachtungsgabe und klugen Intellekt auszeichnete. Seine Poesie erforschte häufig die Komplexität des modernen Lebens und verknüpfte persönliche Reflexionen mit breiteren kulturellen und gesellschaftlichen Themen. Imlahs unverwechselbarer Stil, geprägt von präziser Sprache und unerwarteten Wendungen, fesselte Leser und Kritiker gleichermaßen. Seine Beiträge hinterließen einen bedeutenden Eindruck in der zeitgenössischen britischen Literatur.

      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.
