Michael HaslamMichael Haslam was born in Bolton, Lancashire in 1947, and educated at Bolton School and Peterhouse, Cambridge. In his final year (1968) he took tutorials with J.H. Prynne in Caius. He began publishing his poetry in 1971, after Peter Riley had duplicted and distributed a number of copies of his poems to editors of little magazines. In 1970 he came to live at Foster Clough, near Hebden Bridge, where he still lives. By the late 1970s merely living there had become his sole poetic subject. His poetry to date has been collected in Mid-Life (Shearsman Books, 2007), and in three volumes from Arc Publications. Read More Read Less
