A Life Liminal \u2013 Nicholas Snowdon Willey<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The early poems of Nick Willey need little explanation. The poems stand, mythic and magical, for themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nick was well known to his contemporaries and included in the seminal sixties Penguin anthology of beat poets, \u201cChildren of Albion\u201d, and his poems featured in a number of magazines, including Encounter and, more recently, Ambit. Other publication of his work was limited to a hardback of twenty one of his poems (all included in Liminal Green), called The Green Tunnel,  published in 1965, (Signals Press), and a pamphlet of 1974, Seven Poems (Villiers Press). Both are extremely difficult to find today. An unpublished collection, Here Now, is also included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In June 1969 The BBC Third Programme transmitted a reading of some poems, \u201cThe Living Poet \u2013 Nicholas Willey\u201d, with commentary by Hallam Tennyson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nick Willey was a fine reader of verse and a small number of recordings of him are held by the British Library. A CD of readings by Joss Wynne Evans of the poems is included at the back of the book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am as ever grateful to Sarah Willey for her encouraging support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
