Richard Berengarten (born 4 June 1943) is an English poet. Having lived in Italy, Greece, the US and the former Yugoslavia, his perspectives as a poet combine English, French, Mediterranean, Jewish, Slavic, American and Oriental influences. His poems explore historical and political material, inner worlds and their archetypal resonances, and relationships and everyday life. His work is marked by its multicultural frames of reference, depth of themes, and variety of forms.[1] In the 1970s, he founded and ran the international Cambridge Poetry Festival.[2] He has been an important presence in contemporary poetry for the past 40 years, and his work has been translated into more than 90 languages.[3]
