My friend Ted Booth, who has died aged 87, was one of the academics whose iconoclasm made Hornsey College of Art in London a hotbed of radicalism in the 1970s, when Hornsey was a byword for student protests and radical teaching.
A lecturer in creative writing, he was also a well-regarded poet who between 1998 and 2022 had five volumes of work published: Rough Draft (1998), Fair Copy (2010), Lower Second (2017), The Olive Tree (2020) and Abandoned Poems (2022).
