Timeline

1930

The poem -attributed to 'Ivor Mortise', a fictitious alter-ego- satirises contemporary austerity culture using the leitmotiv of Devon Violet, a cheap perfume particularly popular during the 1930s and 1940s, as an olfactory metaphor for the Retro-rhetoric, and synthetic nostalgia (a sort of austerity nostalgia or 'nosterity'/ 'austalgia', as Morrison refers to it) for a pre-welfare state Britain, promulgated by politicians.

1974

Alan Duncan Morrison (born 18 July 1974, Brighton) is a British poet.

Morrison's work is influenced by poets including John Davidson and Harold Monro, and Anglo-Welsh poets Alun Lewis and Dylan Thomas.

However, his earliest influences were John Keats, Wilfred Owen, William Blake, Andrew Marvell, Emily Brontë and Percy Shelley.

His poems are often characterised by social and polemical traits.

2007

Morrison selected, edited and designed the Collected Poems of David Kessel, O the Windows of the Bookshop Must Be Broken.[6] Between 2007 and 2012 he ran poetry workshops at Mill View psychiatric hospital, Hove.

Morrison is editor of left-wing international literary webzine, The Recusant, which he founded in 2007.

2008

In 2008 he gained an NHS Artists' Award to produce an anthology of writing from the workshops (2009) from which he was then commissioned to write his own poetic response to this residency, resulting in his epic work Captive Dragons / The Shadow Thorns, published in October 2011.

2010

In August 2010 Morrison compiled, contributed to and edited a collection of political poems entitled Emergency Verse - Poetry in Defence of the Welfare State (Caparison) endorsed by Caroline Lucas MP This was followed in 2012 by a second, significantly bigger anti-austerity anthology, The Robin Hood Book – Verse Versus Austerity (patron Mark Serwotka of the PCS Union).

2013

His collection Blaze a Vanishing and The Tall Skies (Waterloo Press, 2013) was funded by an Arts Council Grant for the Arts Award.

2014

In 2014, Morrison published parts of an epic polemical poem-in-progress, Odour of Devon Violet.

Morrison has been a recipient of a Royal Literary Fund grant since 2014.

2015

In 2015, Lapwing Publications (Belfast) published Morrison's volume Shadows Waltz Haltingly.

A deeply personal collection, it is a departure from his more socio-political poetry of recent years.

Morrison started up another polemical poetry site, Militant Thistles, in 2015.

In May 2021 the belated third anti-austerity anthology, The Brown Envelope Book (subtitled Poems and prose on experiences of unemployment, the benefits system, disability and work capability assessments) was published by Caparison, once more selected, edited and designed by Morrison (along with co-editor Kate Jay-R), featuring 107 poets, writers and disability activists.

This anthology, patroned by John McArdle of the Black Triangle Campaign, had immediate impact, being mentioned by Labour MP Steve McCabe during a welfare debate in Parliament on 17 May 2021.

Morrison's poetry and monographs have appeared in journals including Culture Matters, Disability Arts Online, The Fortnightly Review, The International Times, The London Magazine, The Morning Star, Stand, and The Whistling Shade.

His poetry has been awarded grants from the Arts Council, and a John Masefield Memorial Trust Award from the Society of Authors.

2017

Tan Raptures - described by the Church Times as having "fluency, wit, and passion" was released in April 2017.
