		Tom Pickard (born (1946) is a poet, radio and film maker who was an important initiator of the movement known as the British Poetry Revival.

		Pickard's poetry owes much to his reading of Bunting and of the Black Mountain poets, but it is also rooted in his own working class Northumbrian background.

	Voices Reviews: The Dark Months of May by Tom Pickard (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Tom Pickard is probably best remembered for helping launch the famous Morden Tower poetry venue in his native Newcastle with Connie Pickard 40 years ago and for encouraging Basil Bunting to come out of a premature literary retirement to create his poetic 'autobiography,' Briggflatts (Fulcrum, 1966).
		Pickard's early collections, too, have tended to overshadow his subsequent career, which has included spells as a freelance writer and documentary film-maker.
		The Dark Months of May is Tom Pickard's strongest collection to date, leaving his early and more highly lauded work in the shade.

	Constant Critic Reviews \| Ray McDaniel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Fortunately, Pickard has another set of resources by which he earns my acute attention, and this is the narrator’s inability or refusal to distinguish between the appropriateness of these resources, or even their particular aspects.
		Pickard’s periodic seizure by sounds themselves represents one kind of tradition, as does his familiarity with the sauced laments of the scorned; the two traditions wander in and out of each other in ways that become, as I’ve noted, hard to predict.
		Pickard suggests that an appreciation of all the craft of the past—intimate or industrial or even geological—need not result in the time squad’s serious destruction.

		And it strikes me that Pickard is at his best when he writes like that.
		It’s pretty boring, even juvenile, though Pickard might get away with it at a public reading where critical faculties, whether in relation to poetry or politics, are lowered.
		Tom Pickard has written some lively poetry over the years, he did some useful work in the North-East in the 1960s, and I liked his books, Jarrow March and We Make Ships, but it would be dishonest to disguise my dismay at most of what is on offer in his new book.

	Tom Pickard introduction
		When I picked up Tom Pickard’s recent volume of new and selected poems, Hole in the Wall, the first thing that struck me was the poems’ sheer density.
		He’s a master of the tight-as-a-drum couplet that jolts the senses awake.
		The aural shock of these lines – curt, bright, uncanny, impolite, insistent – and the intense, unadorned evocation of the visible world place Pickard in the Objectivist tradition, and especially of his mentor Basil Bunting.

	Shearsman 61: Short Reviews
		I've been reading Pickard's work for a good 35 years, having started with his two early Fulcrum Press volumes, which contained some terrific work by a young man just finding his voice and gaining encouragement from Bunting's avuncular presence in his native north-east.
		The pieces towards the end of the book, 'Fragments from an Archaeological Dig in Gallowgate' and 'The Ballad of Jamie Allan', show Pickard reaching for different sources of inspiration and benefiting from it.
		The first is mostly prose, spare poetic prose, that uses the different levels of excavation as a springboard for an elegiac look at history in Newcastle, whereas the latter is a short rip-roaring ballad that at first looks out of place, but it's so well done that no-one could deny it room here.
