Aidan Andrew Dun, British poet, born in London, raised for ten
(in)formative years in the West Indies. He lives now on Parliament Hill in North
London. His two epic poems were published in the United Kingdom by Goldmark
(Vale Royal, 1995, Universal, 2002). The
first earned praise from Derek Walcott, who said 'Vale Royal moves with the ease and the clarity of a fresh
spring over ancient stones, making its myths casual, even colloquial-- an
impressive achievement.' The subject of Vale Royal, (composed in terza rima,) is the psychogeography
of ancient Kings Cross in central London. Twenty three years all-making, Vale
Royal earned Aidan Andrew Dun the title Poet
of Kings Cross. Universal, in twelve cantos, has been widely
reviewed. Aidan
Andrew Dun’s third epic is now in first
draft, a fourth in preparation. His shorter poems have appeared in many
British and some European journals. The London Magazine has published, as
well as many shorter pieces, two medium length poems, one of which, Three
Kings Passage, ran to twenty seven pages. His work is now beginning to
appear via selected internet literary journals, among them
The Aurora Journal, Projected Letters, Contrary, Avatar, Interpoetry,
The Wissahickon, The Dogwood Journal, and The Writers Post. Publications:: · Poetry: - Vale Royal (United Kingdom: Goldmark, 1995) - Universal (United Kingdom: Goldmark, 2002) - shorter poems have appeared in many British and some European journals.
