British poet, painter and film-maker Paul Yates has sustained
a highly original and imaginative creative output for over five
decades. His poetry has been published in several languages,
his films have won international awards and his paintings are
are held in important private, public and royal collections.
The above haiku, written over half a century apart, evidence
the consistency of Yates’s creative skills and vision.
