Author Information

Jeremy Hooker was born in 1941 and grew up in Warsash near Southampton, and the landscape of this region has remained an important source of inspiration. Many of his poems were written in Wales, where he has lived for long periods of his life, and now lives in retirement. His academic career has taken him to universities in England, the Netherlands and the USA and he was Professor of English at the University of Glamorgan before his retirement. As well as his many collections of poetry, including a Collected Poems from Enitharmon and a large Selected Poems 1965-2018 from Shearsman Books, Hooker is also well-known as a critic and has published selections of writings by Edward Thomas and Richard Jefferies, as well as studies of David Jones and John Cowper Powys, all of them important to his own creative life. Lee Grandjean (b. 1949) is a sculptor, draughtsman and teacher, born in London, although he lived for part of his youth in Romania. He studied at North-East London Polytechnic, then Winchester School of Art. He had a studio in London, 1971-80, then moved to Reepham, Norfolk. From 1980-81 he was research fellow in sculpture at Winchester School of Art, having lectured at Wimbledon School of Art since 1976. In 1991 became sculpture tutor at Royal College of Art, appointed senior tutor from 1977. He has also worked widely as a visiting lecturer and examiner. Grandjean works in various materials and is interested in ""the transformation of material"" and, with non-European and ancient civilisations, shared a desire to ""render raw materials into another expressive substance"".
