Tony Lopez (born 1950) is an English poet who first began to be published in the 1970s. His writing was at once recognised for its attention to language, and for his ability to compose a coherent book, rather than a number of poems accidentally printed together.〔Peter Ackroyd, “A future for English Poetry”, ''Spectator'' (16 October 1976): 25.〕 He is best known for his book ''False Memory'' (The Figures, 1996), first published in the United States and much anthologised.〔(Salt Publishing. )〕 ==Life== Lopez grew up in Brixton, South London, and was educated at local state schools including Henry Thornton Grammar School. He worked as a freelance writer of fiction, publishing five crime and science fiction novels with New English Library 1973-6, before going to the University of Essex (1977–80), and then taking up a research studentship at Gonville and Caius College, University of Cambridge, where J. H. Prynne supervised his PhD on the Scottish poet W. S. Graham.〔(British Electronic Poetry Centre ), Southampton University.〕 He taught briefly at the University of Leicester (1986-7) and the University of Edinburgh (1987-9), and then for twenty years at the University of Plymouth (1989–2009), where he was appointed the first Professor of Poetry in 2000〔Keith Tuma (ed.), ''Anthology of Twentieth-Century British & Irish Poetry''.
