Graham Hamilton

Graham Hamilton is from Sculcoates Lane in Hull, but ran away as a young man to become a professional dancer in London. He danced in the West End, on TV and in movies and choreographed over 50 dance works for his own group and others.

Subsequently he took a swerve into Cognitive Science, writing a Phd (Aspects of Visual Ambiguity) and became a Senior Lecturer.

Since stepping down from that role, he grows vegetables and writes poems and songs, a music CD, “Feathers In The Wind’ was released in November 2019. His poems have appeared in ‘The Reater’, The Hull Connection’ and ‘Visions of the North’.

THE OBLIVIOUS WHALE deals with landscape, nature, the seasons and the human condition. Graham Hamilton’s writing style is in turn sombre, lyrical and playful. There’s a strong sense of immediacy in place and relationship in some of the poems.
