david-pollard

English I was born under the bed in 1942 and have been a furniture salesman, accountant, TEFL teacher and university lecturer. I got my three degrees from the University of Sussex and have since taught at the universities of Sussex, Essex and at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. I have published The Poetry of Keats: Language and Experience which was my doctoral thesis, The KWIC Concordance to the Harvard Edition of Keats’ Letters. Also a novel, Nietzsche’s Footfalls, and three volumes of poetry, patricides, Risk of Skin and bedbound (translated into Galician and Spanish). A fourth, Self-Portraits, is forthcoming. I have also been published in other volumes and in learned journals and poetry magazines.
