Robert Shaw (poet)

Robert (John) Shaw (born 31 July 1933) is a British poet and pioneer of poetry and jazz fusion.
==Life==

Born in Coventry, he grew up in an industrial suburb often a target in the Coventry Blitz of 1940–41.〔John Ray, ''The Night Blitz'', London, Arms and Armour, 1996, pages 151–9, 226〕 At King Henry VIII School, he enjoyed the unpredictability of an environment presided over by the outrageously maverick headmaster A.A.C.Burton. He trained as a reporter on ''The Coventry Standard'', under the portentuously prosaic editorship of Edgar Letts, who was prone to ask "Is this true?" of Shaw's copy . He then studied at The University of Leeds, supplementing his grant with work as a correspondent for the Manchester office of ''Melody Maker'' and as a freelance for the ''Yorkshire Evening Post''. His honours degree included a "first" in English Literature. (Among his tutors was G. Wilson Knight,whose tutorial speculations chiefly imparted his spiritualist experiences. Another source of ironic fascination was the Professor of English, Bonamy Dobree,today regarded by literary critics as the main contender for the original of Professor Welch in Lucky Jim.) Shaw's two years as a conscript in the Army included periods at the Joint Services School for Linguists run by the Services' Intelligence arm, and, briefly, the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, on posting from which he reverted to private. His final year's service - at the Cavalry Barracks, York - was marked by offences "against military order and good discipline". For some years he then taught English in schools and adult education for the Workers' Educational Association. From 1964 to 1968 he combined being Head of English and Sixth Form at the Leeds Modern School, with a part-time Tutorship at Leeds University and a Visiting Fellowship at The University of York. From 1968 to 1972 he was Lecturer at The University of Southampton.〔Geoffrey Summerfield and Stephen Tunnicliffe, editors, ''English in Practice'', Cambridge, University of Cambridge Press, 1970, chapter by Robert Shaw, pages 130–163〕 In 1972 he became a freelance, returning to Yorkshire, to the Pennine village of Haworth where his wife, the studio-potter Anne Shaw, had set up Haworth Pottery. He toured Britain, from the Isle of Wight to Pitlochry, giving "readings" of his poems, sometimes with jazz. Sponsors included W H Smith, The Arts Council of Great Britain, Boots UK, and The Department of Education. He also reviewed, wrote for television and radio, contributed literary criticism and edited ''The Yorkshire Review'' for the regional arts association.〔Robert Shaw, editor, 1976, ''Yorkshire Review'', numbers 1–4, Bradford, Yorkshire Arts Association〕 The magazine was reviewed by Robert Nye in The Times as "distinguished" with "an attractive catholicity". As editor he published many lesser known and previously unpublished writers as well as major figures like Stan Barstow, Barry Hines, Henry Livings, Norman MacCaig, James Kirkup and Douglas Dunn. (All contributors were paid.) His summary dismissal, without notice, followed his rejection of contributions from two members of the controlling Literature Panel. His numerous creative attachments included the USA's Northwest University, new towns, community projects and academic institutions. From 1992 to 2011 his creative energies were diverted again into playing jazz, spending long periods performing in France, Spain and the Irish Republic. (In the United Kingdom in this period he performed mainly a repertoire of jazz "standards " at arts centres and festivals as well as corporate venues like Thistle Hotels, Haven Holidays, and Pizza Express.)
