Key Themes: A hidden history in poetry and poetic theory: proletarian poetry

Nigel was born in 1959. He had lived a life variously described as ‘colourful’ or ‘checkered’ until he made the turn to both serious academic study and creative writing. As his G.P. of many years standing has said, “Your writing and studying are your therapy , Nigel. They are what saved you.’ He has gained since 1988: BA (Open) Political & Social Science, BA Humanities with Creative Writing, MA in English, MA in Creative Writing, MA in English Literature. He writes poetry, prose-fiction, essays on literature, politics, economics, psychology, and philosophy. This volume examines a hidden history in poetry and poetic theory: proletarian poetry.
