Paul Davidson

The English poet Paul Davidson, born in London in 1962, works with poetry which exists in the space between language and the landscape from which it comes. Sometimes that landscape is the grey silt and shale of North Devon, sometimes it is the historically-electric atmosphere of London.

After being widely published in many journals, his first book-length publication, 'Underland', is now out from Original Plus, and will be launched at the Oxford Poetry Convention in July 2003.
