	Charles Causley \| Obituaries \| Guardian Unlimited Books
		Writer and broadcaster Charles Causley, who has died aged 86, was a poet of place, so much so that it is almost possible to trace his travels through his poems; they act as a kind of gazetteer.
		Causley always regarded his life after 1946 as survivor's leave; the phrase became the title of a volume of poetry, published in 1953, and the war experience is also evident in other titles: his first collection Farewell, Aggie Weston (1951) and Union Street.
		Causley was awarded the Queen's Medal for Poetry in 1967, and the CBE in 1986.

		Causley served in the Navy as a coder from 1940 to 1946, and the roots of his poetry are there.
		Causley's parody of John Betjeman is one of the few really funny poems written in the last century, and hit its victim exactly in the centre, but it would be hard if either of them should be remembered by it.

	Dana Gioia Online - Charles Causley
		Charles Stanley Causley was born in 1917 in the Cornish market town of Launceston where, except for six years of military service, he has lived ever since.
		Causley's characteristic mode is often the short narrative (and he has never been tempted into the epic private mythology of the late Prophetic Books), but his decisive source is not Hardy or Auden, as important as they were in other ways, but Blake.
		Causley is one of today's preeminent writers of children's poetry, and his children's verse bears an illuminating relation to his work for adults.

	poetry of Charles Causley - Cornishman and friend
		Causley, who died earlier this month at 86, could no more write down to children than he could sentimentalise them.
		The pause was a silent reference to his mother; he was pretty well chained by her during her lifetime, though he made dashes for the open world, to Canada and Australia and Asia, a term here, a term there, as visiting writer and poet in residence.
		It was beautiful but as he was marvelling at it, Causley leaped forward and descended to his waist into a drift.

	Charles Causley - Eratosphere
		When Charles Causley's Collected Poems was published in 1975, reviewers in American magazines generally praised his work but somehow managed to relegate him to the limbo of minor poets.
		Causley has been called "England's Robert Frost," though the comparison is ultimately without basis; trying to imagine an English Frost is about as impossible as summoning up, say, an American Larkin.
		Causley was born in 1917, and his many poems about his youth and extended family rank among his finest.

		He makes particular individual cases for Charles Causley, James Fenton, Wendy Cope, Ted Hughes, Kingsley Amis, Tony Connor, Dick Davis, Thom Gunn, and Charles Tomlinson, while glancing, in passing, at some of their contemporaries.
		Gioia is likewise unapologetic in his close attention to the work of Charles Causley (“the most unfashionable poet alive,” he asserts—although, again, the reader should know that however unfashionable Causley remains, he alas is no longer alive.) Best known for his ballads and children’s poems, Causley was, and his poetry remains, something of an anti-modernist.
		Although I am not persuaded as Gioia is that Causley was “one of Britain’s three or four” finest poets (as of 1998), I am happy to see Causley’s work so forcefully championed as it is here.

		Perhaps because in my subconscious I had figured he was a blood relative of Charles: one who had been given some of those same family creative genes.
