Poems, translations, essays - Christopher Middletons are among the most visited books on my shelves; always dependable for re-exciting the possibilities of language. Jennie Feldman The poets ancestry, his Englishness, is relegated without denial. But the movement, whether it is generated in America, Provence, or Cappadocia, is always of encounter - of an eroticism, with the inner and outer, a profound in-touchness with the multiplicities of existence - a mark of all important poets.
Christopher Middleton was born in Truro, Cornwall, in 1926. He studied at Merton College, Oxford, before teaching at the University of Zurich, at King's College, London, and as Professor of Germanic Languages at the University of Texas, Austin.
