Fred Voss is an American, a self-consciously working-class poet from Los Angeles who has spent his life doing manual and semi-skilled jobs in factories. He then began writing poems about his factory experiences and has since published various collections and has had poems appear in good quality magazines both in the US and UK. His work particularly appealed to purveyors of the Northern School, with its realism, directness and working-class credentials; Fred never found difficulty being published over here. Yet it was the southern eclectic flagship, Tears In The Fence, which championed him more than any other (along with his wife, the poet Joan Lobe Smith) and brought the couple over to read at the Wessex festival a few years back. |
