Sisson, C. H. ( Charles Hubert Sisson) (1914– ), poet and translator, born in Bristol, and educated at Bristol University. His volumes of poetry include
The London Zoo (1961),
Numbers (1965),
Metamorphoses (1968),
Anchises (1976),
In the Trojan Ditch: Collected Poems and Selected Translations (1974),
God Bless Karl Marx! (1988),
Antidotes (1991), and
Collected Poems (1998). Translations include works of Heine,
Catullus,
Horace, and Dante's
Divina Commedia (1980). His poetry mingles biblical and classical themes and imagery with Arthurian references drawn from his native Somerset: many are satiric, but the satire is based on a religious preoccupation with man's fallen nature and a classical view of his limitations. Among his other works are
Christopher Homm (1965, a novel),
The Avoidance of Literature: Collected Essays (1978),
Anglican Essays (1983),
On the Look Out (1989, an autobiograph), and
English Perspectives (1991). He was made a Companion of Honour in 1993.
