| Christopher Logue (b. 1926) has spent over forty years working on his contemporary version of Homer's Iliad. Begun in 1959 the project has expended into five full-length collections, known collectively as War Music. Born in Portsmouth, Hampshire, Logue was part of a post-war artistic milieu that encompassed friendships with Beckett and Henry Miller in Paris. As well as his poetry, Logue has written for the theatre and cinema, including two screenplays one of which, Savage Messiah, was directed by Ken Russell, and he also appeared in front of the camera for the same director as Cardinal Richelieu in The Devils. For many years he contributed to the satirical magazine, Private Eye. The various instalments of War Music have been highly acclaimed, being shortlisted for the 2002 International Griffin Poetry Prize, and winning the Bernard F O'Connor Award from The Paris Review.
