- Alan_Jackson_(poet) abstract "Alan Jackson (born 1938) is a Scottish poet.He was born in Liverpool, of Scottish parents in 1938 who returned to Edinburgh in 1940. He attended the Royal High School in Edinburgh 1952-1956 and Edinburgh University 1956-1959. He began a reading career on Edinburgh Festival fringe, with the London poets, Pete Brown, Mike Horovitz and Libby Houston in 1960. He self-published Underwater Wedding in 1961. In 1965 he founded the yearly series of readings during the Edinburgh Festival in the Traverse Theatre (with Tony Jackson, no relation). These readings became a platform for the Liverpool poets, Brian Patten, Adrian Henri and Roger McGough and for the older Scottish poets Edwin Morgan, Robert Garioch and Norman McCaig. Hamish Henderson brought folk singers. Pentangle played there, and The Scaffold. Poets such as Pete Morgan and Pete Roche (editor of Love Love Love) first appeared at these Traverse readings.Jackson went on from this time till the early seventies to give hundreds of readings throughout Britain, often solo, but mostly with Patten, Mitchell, Morgan, Houston and others of the poets mentioned above. In 1968 he was published in Penguin Modern Poets 12 and in 1969 by the avant garde Fulcrum Press (publishers of Ed Dorn and Gary Snyder). In June 1971 the whole issue of Lines Review 37, the Scottish literary magazine, was devoted to Jackson’s essay, The Knitted Claymore, which expressed his conviction that rising nationalist sentiment in Scotland was infiltrating and distorting the realm of literature. As could be expected, the essay was widely welcomed and widely attacked.In 1973 Jackson announced that he was retiring from the ‘reading scene’. The time had come he said ‘to obey the poetry’, rather than merely purveying it to others. This move of Jackson’s only makes sense when it is considered that his poetry had never been one of nature description or social anecdote, but had themes of self-inquisition and self-undoing. Heart of the Sun, 1986, Open Township, has a long introduction entitled Reasons for the Work, describing his poetic evolution through the years since the decision to ‘retire’. Jackson had always had considerable philosophical and historical interests and a main feature of the introduction is his account of how experiences of his own led him to the work of Rudolf Steiner, the Austrian Christian initiate. This new phase in Jackson’s life led to the writing of short ‘stories’, in italics because they are not so much realist, but have something of the nature of myth and fable. He was also writing ideas pieces, investigating and expressing ‘the spirit forces’ at work in our time.".
