Jarvis, Simon
Entry updated 12 May 2025. Tagged: Author, Poet.
(circa 1963- ) UK academic and poet who is of sf interest for Jerusalem Deleted (2015), a book-length narrative poem (see Poetry) set mostly in a Near Future Post-Holocaust Britain, as perceived during the Fantastic Voyage of its narrator through broken lands and Cities. An earlier work, The Unconditional (2005), though nonfantastic, loosely connects with Jerusalem Deleted as part of what Jarvis indicated would be some sort of uber-series entitled The Calendar; his 2017 conviction in Cambridge for possession of indecent images of children may have truncated this enterprise.
