Sir Geoffrey William Hill (1932, Bromsgrove) is an English poet and Professor of literature and theology. One of the most respected poets of his generation, he taught at the University of Leeds from 1954 to 1980, and at several other universities later. In 2010 he became a Professor of poetry at Oxford. University of Cambridge professor George Gömöri wrote about him, “Geoffrey Hill is not only above reproach in all respects, but at 78 he is believed to be the greatest living English poet.” He has published dozens of books and won numerous awards. Collected Poems, 1952-2012 (Oxford University Press, 2013) is his latest book of poetry.
