| Synopsis: |
William Scammell was born in Hythe near Southampton in 1939. Leaving school at 15, he worked at unrewarding jobs until his spell as a ship's photographer on the Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary and then as a copywriter. His voracious appetite for books and ideas led him to read English and Philosophy as a mature student at Bristol University. He took up a post as Adult Education Tutor for the WEA in the Cotswolds before moving north to Cockermouth in the seventies with his wife Jackie and their sons, Ben and Chris, to work as Newcastle University's Staff Tutor in Literature for Cumbria. He later moved to a farm cottage on the outskirts of Aspatria, where he lived with his second wife Jan. Before he came to live in the Lake District his writing had been mainly short stories. The poems arrived with his coming to live in Cumbria.He became a full time writer in 1991 and was chief poetry reviewer for the "Independent on Sunday", contributing many reviews and articles to other journals and magazines like "London Magazine", "Poetry Review", "The Spectator", "Stand" and "Critical Quarterly".A collection of some of his liveliest criticism "Nightwatch" (Shoestring Press) will be launched on the same day as this book at the Wordsworth Trust, Grasmere. |
