I've done a little research- following up evidence presented on the blog (specifically information about the Sophia conference at Lampeter Univerisity) and I'm 95% sure the writer is Dr Mark Williams (29) of Peterborough College, Cambridge. Interesting guy!
That was a beautiful poem, and the others are lovely too. Why not leave him a comment and tell him you like it? If I were him [yeah, or "If I were he"], I sure would be pleased that my poems attracted notice from someone faraway, someone just adventuring in the wilds of the Internet.
Thanks for these lovely comments: Sovay, I followed you back to your lair after you commented. I've very flattered! I have a more extensive private blog called The Expvlsion of the Blatant Beast--if you'd like to read it, just leave me a comment (which I won't publish) with an email address and I'll add you to the list of people who can access it. (You'll get an email with a link in it). Best wishes Mark

I started crying when I read Hunt in the Forest; long time since a poem's done that for me.
It was absolutely of the highest academic quality, as was my fellow Cantabridgian Research Fellow Pete Forshaw's piece on linkages between alchemy and astrology in medieval and Renaissance periods.
I need to look up this paper now ('oh, dear,' says my brain, as it notes that it was read at a conference, and so may possibly entail going to great extremes and/or JStor expense to read it). Looks like the paper abstracts are here: http://www.lamp.ac.uk/Sophia/events/

You should tell him.

Psst. I have a JSTOR account. Tell me what papers you want; I will snag them.

I cannot claim any of the credit, but you're welcome! The rewards of looking up other people's poetry on the internet.

"Serried, irradiate, walnut and holm-oak
uproot themselves and interchange."
(One of my favorite contemporary poets.)
Ditto! I discovered him a few years ago and I wanted to know where Mercian Hymns had been all my life.

I do not have a Google account, so at the minute I can read but not comment; I will consider changing this. Nonetheless, thanks!
And I am serious: are you sending your poems anywhere?
