	Dana Gioia Online - James Fenton
		James Martin Fenton was born in Lincoln in 1949, the son of Mary Hamilton Ingoldby Fenton and John Charles Fenton, an Anglican priest and theologian, who was also a collateral descendant of Elijah Fenton (1683-1730), a minor Augustan poet best remembered as one of Alexander Pope's collaborators in translating the Odyssey.
		Fenton's family moved twice during his childhood, first to Yorkshire and later to Lichfield, Staffordshire, the town which would provide the sinister background for his poem "A Staffordshire Murderer." At the age of nine Fenton was sent to a musical preparatory school attached to the Durham cathedral, where he was a chorister.
		Fenton's disappointment, however, was undoubtedly softened by his receipt of the 1984 Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize on the eve of the election.

	Guardian Unlimited Books \| Critics \| Observer review: The Strength of Poetry by James Fenton
		The example he always cited was T. Lawrence; it is not surprising to find that Fenton, in a superbly embattled lecture on imperialism in poetry, transcribes a quotation from Lawrence of Arabia, which he saw pinned on the wall of the US embassy in Saigon at the end of the Vietnam War.
		Fenton, whose books of poetry include The Memory of War, is in the odd position of being a non-combatant war poet.
		Fenton's own last and best lecture considers Auden's plight and venerates him as a weak man, a specialist in unrequited love, who consoled himself for his private griefs by reasoning that 'art is born of humiliation', and a strong poet.

	James Fenton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		James Fenton (born April 25, 1949, Lincoln, England) has been, at various times, a journalist, poet, literary critic, and professor.
		Fenton's unsettling use of traditional form to confront contemporary events, combined with images of comedy and violence is evident in poems such as 'Out of the East' and 'The Ballad of the Shrieking Man'.
		As a boy Fenton was a chorister and perhaps this early training helped foster the music of his poetry.

	An Introduction to English Poetry, a book by James Fenton (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		I wonder if the difference lies in an English poet being able to take for granted the whole of English verse as his direct inheritance, whereas an American poet, though obviously sharing the lineage, is a part of a project started by Whitman, that of inventing and refining a distinctly American poetry.
		Fenton hints at this in his chapter on free verse (page 106).
		I don't know Fenton's work, but my guess is that Auden and, to a lesser extent, Larkin, are his exemplars, though his witty and informative glossary has this entry for "light verse:"
