(1931-)
   UK poet and anthologist, active from the early 1950s. In The Way You Tell Them: A Yarn of the Nineties (1990), his first novel, the UK of 1999 is rendered as a Tory-dominated DYSTOPIA whose rulers have learned well how to subvert and co-opt those who still retain their integrity, political or artistic.
