Produktbeschreibung
A Collection of 40 poems drawing on the poet's own life experiences, ranging from his time in the Royal Navy where he became a boxing champion to his involvement with the music industry performing with the Kit 185 band later running a venue in West London. Disillusioned with the Politics and Establishment of the 80's and 90s much of his verse tells of the struggle facing the poor, dispossessed and mentally fragile. The author's later poems were written in response to a life- threatening illness that he faced and his journey towards recovery. Jean Marc's stylistic influences were from the 50's beat poets such a Walt Whitman, Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg. As a Performance Poet Jean- Marc draws on the influence of contemporaries John Cooper Clarke and Kae Tempest. His compositions use simple gritty language written to reflect his time growing up in London as child of a French born mother and English father.
Autorenporträt
Jean-Marc Hall was born in 1952 in London to a French mother and English father. Inspired by The Georgian Poets Graves, Sassoon and Owen, he started writing during service in The Royal Navy. Whilst serving in the Navy he became a boxing champion and represented The Royal Navy. During the 1970's Jean-Marc's poetry was influenced by The Beat Generation poets and writers such as Ginsberg, Kerouac and Walt Whitman, and in the 80's he regularly performed with the band Kit 185. Their style of Performance Art Sets featured the internationally known painter Ian Humphreys. The artist was inspired to spontaneously paint on large canvases depicting dark an thought provoking images through the music and poetry of the band. After a short spell managing bands and running a music venue in West London, Jean-Marc moved to Berkshire in 1987 with his wife and two children where he still lives today. Jean -Marc now has four grandchildren Jude, Stanley, Harriet and Martha. Jean Marc is a supporter of Cancer Research.
