Paul William Hullah (born June 26, 1963) is an English writer who has published several volumes of poetry, short stories, and literary criticism, as well as a series of literature-based EFL textbooks for university students in Japan and articles in several academic journals in the field of EFL. He was co-editor of the 1997 authorized international edition of the collected poetry of the major novelist Dame Iris Murdoch.

Hullah was born in Ripon, North Yorkshire, but now lives in Japan. He attended Ripon Grammar School, and then lived and worked for over a decade as a music and arts journalist in Edinburgh, Scotland, whilst simultaneously achieving an M.A. (in English Language and Literature) and a Ph.D. (the poetry of Christina Rossetti) from the University of Edinburgh. Hullah was an active figure in the Edinburgh underground arts and music scene during the 1980s, with one of his many commercially unsuccessful bands, Teenage Dog Orgy (), nevertheless hailed as 'legendary' by the ''New Musical Express''. He moved to Japan in 1992 and is currently Associate Professor of British Literature (Poetry) at Meiji Gakuin University, Tokyo.
==Writing==
''And Here's What You Could Have Won'', Hullah's award-winning first book-length collection of poetry, attracted critical praise,〔John Bayley, cover blurb, ''And Here's What You could Have Won'': "Paul Hullah’s poems are unlike any others today. They are not only very good but very direct and moving. ''Love’s Long Journey'' is an example. And they possess a shapeliness and clarity that other poets today might envy. Their beauty is as enigmatic as it is straightforward."〕〔Iris Murdoch, back cover blurb, ''Let Me Sing My Song'': "Fine poems...some with an enchantment that touches me deeply."〕〔Angus Calder, (Autumn 1998) ''Understanding'' (literary magazine), Dionysia Press, 127 Milton Road West, 7 Duddingston House Courtyard, Edinburgh, EH15 1JG: "Why isn't Paul Hullah's verse better known?… He often deals with poignantly transient erotic relationships, within a European tradition that goes back to the troubadours. He does so with modesty and wry humour… His rhythms suggest on one hand rock lyrics, on the other the virtuoso technical versatility of Romantic and post-Romantic nineteenth century writers. But his conversational personality is very much his own. I think that only a very stuffy or bigoted proponent of some other kind of poetry could resist that candid, rueful, singing personality.〕 with reviewers variously noting echoes of W. S. Graham, John Ashbery and Christina Rossetti (about whom Hullah has published several critical essays) in the layered lyrical pieces. His second collection, ''Let Me Sing My Song'' (Dionysia, 2000) contained more confessional poetry, though retaining the wit and collisions of imagery of earlier work. ''Unquenched'', a slim volume of haiku in English, illustrated by the Scottish artist Susan Mowatt, was published by Afterdays Press, Scotland, in 2002.〔Unquenched, Afterdays, Edinburgh 2002, ISBN 0-9542718-0-7〕 'Age's Bullets' was published in 2006 by Vagabond Press, Sydney, Australia. In August 2011, (Word Power Books UK. ) published ('Homing' ), a selection of 24 poems by Hullah dealing with loss and recovery, illustrated by Susan Mowatt. 'Homing' was performed/exhibited as a multi-media piece, featuring music by Davy Henderson and translations by Hidetoshi Tomiyama, during 2012 in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Edinburgh. 'Scenes: Words, Pictures, and Music', a collaboration with the painter and musician Martin Metcalfe (formerly of Goodbye Mr. Mackenzie) featuring poems by Hullah, was published by Word Power Books UK in August 2014.
