Author: Simon Jenner
Simon Jenner was born in Cuckfield in 1959. Failing everything at school except art, he learnt to fly instead, where discovering poetry forestalled a career in airframes. To forestall the dole, he was belatedly educated at Leeds, then Cambridge where the quaint paradox of writing his PhD Dreaming Fires: Oxford Poetry of the 1940s was hardly lost on anyone who tried to read him. His debut, abroad, seems typical: Poetry volumes in parallel English/German by K-Tel and Zeitriss. A winner of a South-East Arts Bursary, and a recipient of two major Royal Literary Fund grants, he has also received commissions from the BBC. Apart from numerous magazine appearances in the UK, Holland, Germany and USA, Jenner writes for Poetry Review, PNR, Tears in the Fence, The Tablet, Music on the Web and British Music Society. He is currently writing a biography of 1890s poet Lionel Johnson. A second volume is forthcoming from Waterloo Press. Since 2003 he has been the Director of Survivors’ Poetry.
