Tiepin Eros Summary

Tiepin Eros: New & Selected Poems by Tom Pickard

Tom Pickard's poems of love, sex, politics and war are searing in their directness and emotional power. His political poetry is unflinchingly honest, his love poetry tenderly erotic and lyrically spare. Some poems are remarkable for their breathtaking delicacy, others for their merciless exposure of shabbiness, lies, greed and injustice in contemporary life.

Tiepin Eros Reviews

I am an old admirer of Tom Pickard's poetry and believe as does Basil Bunting that he is one of the most live and true poetic voices in Great Britain. -- Allen Ginsberg
I have just been reading his poems with approval and envy. His ear for rhythm is exceedingly delicate, his syntax strong and terse, and his vocabulary free of fancy work. He seems able to select at will the detail which creates a whole scene or action. He has made several unusual forms his own. -- Basil Bunting
Pickard's battle has always been survival, integrity, honesty. His poems celebrate those qualities. * New Musical Express *

About Tom Pickard

Tom Pickard was born in Newcastle in 1946, left school at 14, and set up Morden Tower poetry readings with Connie Pickard in 1964. Since 1975 he has lived and worked in Warsaw, America, London and the North as a freelance writer and film-maker. His first two poetry books, High on the Walls (1967) and The Order of Chance (1971), were published by Fulcrum Press, and his autobiographical novel Guttersnipe (1971) by City Lights in San Francisco. Allison & Busby published three of his books: Hero Dust (1979), an earlier New & Selected Poems; his history Jarrow March (co-written with his wife, Polish photographer Joanna Voit); and his last collection, Custom & Exile (1985). We Make Ships, his portrait of shipbuilding on Wearside, was published by Secker in 1989.
