Alan Biship's poetry was written over some fifty years in three different countries.  It reflects the intensely personal experiences of the poet.
While an undergraduate at Rhodes University during the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa, Alan participated in protest-marches.  He had his name recorded by the police.
Mr. Biship continued to "follow the tensions of life in South Africa" while at Corpus Christi College in Oxford, England.  After three years in Oxford, he returned to his native Zimbabwe (then Rhodesia) where he taught for a year at a Black high-school; married and accepted a lectureship in the Department of English Language at the University of Cape Town.  This ended abruptly when the government expelled anti-apartheid university teachers.  Mr. Biship returned to Oxford, completed a D.Phil then emigrated to Canada.
