==Life==
Travers Rafe Lee Harwood was born in Leicester to maths teacher Wilfred Travers Lee-Harwood and Grace Ladkin Harwood, who were then living in Chertsey, Surrey. His father was an army reservist and called up as war started; after the evacuation from Dunkirk he was posted to Africa until 1947 and saw little of his son.〔''Not the Full Story: 6 Interviews with Lee Harwood'', Exeter, 2008, pp.19–20〕 Between 1958–61 Harwood studied English at Queen Mary College, University of London and continued living in London until 1967. During that time he worked as a monumental mason's mate, a librarian and a bookshop assistant. He was also a member of the Beat scene and in 1963 was involved in editing the one issue magazines ''Night Scene'' and ''Night Train'' featuring their work, as did ''Soho'' and ''Horde'' the following year. ''Tzarad'', which he began editing on his own in 1965, ran for two more issues (1966, 1969) and signalled his growing interest in and involvement with the New York School of poets.〔See the 1972 interview with Eric Mottram in ''Poetry Information'' No. 14 (London, autumn/winter 1975-6), pp.4–18〕 It was during this time that he began to engage with French poetry and started on his translations of Tristan Tzara.
In 1967 he moved to Brighton where, with the exception of some time in Greece and the United States, he lived for the rest of his life.〔(Britain’s Best Kept Literary Secret lives in Brighton )〕 There he worked as a bookshop manager, a bus conductor, and a Post Office counter clerk.〔The fly-leaf of his collection ''HMS Little Fox'' details the succession of his jobs until then〕 He also became a union official and involved with the Labour Party in its radical years, even standing (unsuccessfully) in a local election.〔(Part 1 ) of Robert Sheppard's long review of his work〕 At the Poetry Society Harwood was identified with the radicals but did not join in their block resignation in 1977, arguing that 'as a trade unionist I've never believed in resignation as a useful political weapon – it always seems best to work from inside an organisation'.〔Barry, Peter: ''Poetry Wars – the battle of Earls Court'', Cambridge, 2006, pp.93–4〕 At that time, there was an identifiable political element to Harwood's poetry, discernible in the volume "All The Wrong Notes" (1981).〔Not the Full Story, Six Interviews with Kelvin Corcoran, Exeter, 2008, p.72〕
In 1961 he married his first wife, Jenny Goodgame, by whom he had a son, Blake, in 1962. After the breakdown of this marriage, he met the photographer Judith Walker while a writer in residence at the Aegean School of Fine Arts in Paros, Greece, and married her in 1974. Photographs by her are used in his collections ''Boston-Brighton'' and ''All the wrong notes''. Harwood and Judith Walker have a son, Rafe (1977) and a daughter, Rowan (1979). Harwood died on Sunday, 26 July 2015 in Hove, East Sussex.
