Christopher LogueChristopher Logue (born Portsmouth, 1926) is an English poet associated with the British Poetry Revival. He has also written for the theatre and cinema as well as acting in a number of films. He was also a long-term contributor to Private Eye magazine. Logue was born in Hampshire. His major poetical work is an ongoing project to render Homer's Iliad into a modernist idiom. This work is published in a number of small books, usually equating to two or three books of the original text. He has also published an autobiography called Prince Charming (1999). His lines tend to be short, pithy and frequently political, as in his Song of Autobiography: - I, Christopher Logue, was baptized the year
- Many thousands of Englishmen,
- Fists clenched, their bellies empty,
- Walked day and night on the capital city.
