Sean Bonney, poet and critic, was born in Brighton, England. His work, influenced by the British Poetry Revival of the 1960s and 1970s, was known for its engagement with political activism and progressive ideals. He often performed at protests, as well as in pubs and other public spaces. Bonney taught a seminar on poetry and revolution at the University of Cambridge and was an organizer of the 2012 Poetry and Revolution conference at Birkbeck, University of London, where he earned his PhD a year later.

Bonney’s many collections of poetry include Our Death (2019), Letters Against the Firmament (2016), The Commons (2011), Blade Pitch Control Unit (2005), and Happiness: Poems After Rimbaud (2011). He also published criticism on the work of Amiri Baraka, Anna Mendelssohn, Jean Genet, Ulrike Meinhof, and others. With his wife, the poet Frances Kruk, he edited the press Yt Communication. He died in an accident in Berlin in 2019.
