biographical note
Lawrence Upton was born in London in 1949. A directionless career terminated
with four years as "Head of Academic Computing" at a Greater
London college, from which he retired due to ill health in 1996. He is
now aging unevenly, dividing his time between Surrey-under-London and
emptier places, particularly west Cornwall and Scilly, where his family
originates.
Lawrence Upton has been making poetry for over four decades and is
prolific in a variety of writing genres.
In the mid 1970s he made text-sound composition at Fylkingen in Stockholm. Later, he was a member of "jgjgjg" (cris cheek, P C Fencott & Upton) and other performance groups; and produced electro-acoustic pieces at West Square Studio. His collaboration and performance practice has persisted and developed, with many colleagues including Bob Cobbing, Jennifer Pike, Alaric Sumner, Rory McDermott and John Levack Drever.
He chaired Sub Voicive Poetry 1994 – 2005 and has co-directed Writers Forum since 2002.
