And this,` he adds, `is the nearest thing to an activity I have yet found.` Thus in addition to being poetry editor of Ambit, Brock has published several volumes of his own. His first, An Attempt at Exorcism, was brought out in 1959, and was followed over the next decade by A Family Affair, With Love from Judas, a large selection in Penguin Modern Poets 8, and A Cold Day at the Zoo.

Edwin Brock

Edwin Brock (born October 19, 1927 in Dulwich, Metropolitan Borough of Camberwell, London; died in 1997) was a British poet. Following two years that he spent in the Royal Navy shortly after the end of the Second World War he wrote "Five Ways to Kill a Man", an emotionless poem highlighting stupid deaths, the harshness of war and the increasing loss of humanity, as shown in the distance between the killer and the victim (needing to touch him in the first stanza, and not needing to know who he is in stanzas 4-5)

Titles

Brock has authored over a dozen poetry collections, a novel and an autobiography.

*"An Attempt at Exorcism" (poetry collection, 1959)
*"The Little White God" (novel, 1962)
*"Here, Now, Always" (autobiography, 1977)
