Craig Raine
Craig Anthony Raine, FRSL (born 3 December 1944) is an English poet. Along with Christopher Reid, he is the best-known exponent of Martian poetry.〔(British Council: Biography ) – "It is worth recalling how ''The Onion, Memory'' (1978) and ''A Martian Sends a Postcard Home'' (1979), Raine’s first two poetry collections, made such a spectacular impact on the then becalmed world of British poetry, seeming to set off a stylistic revolution of visual similes, wordplay and punning – even if in the long run it turned out to be a fashion. 'The Martian School', so-called by his friend James Fenton and inaugurated with another, Christopher Reid, had a widespread effect on readers and young poets alike, spawning a host of imitators."〕 He was a fellow of New College, Oxford from 1991 to 2010 and is now emeritus professor. He has been the editor of ''Areté'' since 1999.
==Early life==
Raine was born in Bishop Auckland, County Durham, the son of Norman Edward and Olive Marie Raine.〔‘RAINE, Craig Anthony’, Who's Who 2012, A & C Black, 2012; online edn, Oxford University Press, Dec 2011 ; online edn, Nov 2011 (accessed 20 April 2012 )〕 His father was a boxer who twice fought for England before working as a bomb armourer for the RAF, until his early retirement with epilepsy.〔FATE PLAYS AN ELECTRIFYING HAND, The Northern Echo, 28 October 2002〕 He grew up in a "bookless" prefab in Shildon, a town near Bishop Auckland.〔(Interview: Craig Raine, author - News - Scotsman.com )〕〔(A life in writing | Books | The Guardian )〕 He won a scholarship to Barnard Castle School, which was then a direct grant school where he lived as a boarder.〔 Of his time there he has recalled that it seemed that everyone else's parents seemed to be: accountants or surgeons or something. I couldn't say my father was an ex-boxer who did faith healing, had epileptic fits and lived off a pension. So for a while I said he was a football manager. But by the end I was inviting my friends home and they thought he was just as terrific as I did.〔
Raine has commented on his education: "At Barnard Castle I was taught by an absolutely remarkable English teacher, Arnold Snodgrass, a friend of W. H. Auden at Oxford (later Robert Graves ). There was no question that he altered my mindset on things and made me very critical."〔〔http://robertgraves.org/trust/print.php?id=7313〕 At school he wrote "pimply Dylan Thomas" poems, some of which he sent to Philip Toynbee, then lead reviewer at ''The Observer''.〔
Raine received his university education at Exeter College, University of Oxford, where he received a BA in English and later received his B.Phil.〔〔(British Council: Biography )〕
