 Poets' A-Z » D.M Black

D.M. Black was born in South Africa in 1941 and lived in Malawi and Tanzania before moving to Scotland in 1950. He studied philosophy at Edinburgh University and taught general studies at Chelsea Art School, before completing a post graduate degree in religion at Lancaster. During this time, he developed an interest in Jungian and analytical psychotherapy and went on to train with the British Psychoanalytic Society.

He is the author of several collections including With Decorum (1967), The Happy Crow (1974) and Gravitations (1979). His work was included in Penguin Modern Poets 11, and his Collected Poems 1964-87 were published by Polygon in 1991. His translations of Goethe have been published in Modern Poetry in Translation, Poetry London, and Chapman.
