Described by Chiron Review as 'the finest love poet of his generation', Parks was born in Mexborough, then in the West Riding of Yorkshire.
The son of a miner, Parks grew up during the declining years of the industry - something which was to have a profound effect on his later work.
'I never started out to be a love poet' Parks states in the preface to his Love Poems 1979-2009 - 'there's never been a point where I've set myself an agenda or a strategy.
The love poems have just happened, appearing out of the blue and prompted by circumstances.
They called and I responded'.
