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.
