 | | Parker is a prolific writer and has been published in many forms, including verse, essays, and monographs, but he is perhaps best known for his work with the British Broadcasting Corporation and for his career as an editor. |
 | | Among the contributors were a number of significant poets and critics active in Britain in the late 1960s, notably, W. Auden, Gavin Bantock, John Heath-Stubbs, Elizabeth Jennings, Edward Lucie-Smith, Hugh MacDiarmid, A. Rowse, and Sacheverell Sitwell. |
 | | Correspondence from Parker, Charles Causley, Richard Church, and the Prime Minister's Office in an effort to insure a Civil List Pension for poet Jack Clemo represents another project. |
