John Mole (born 1941) is an English poet for adults and children, born in Taunton.[1] Some of his poems present political issues to young people. He is also a jazz clarinetist.[1]
Mole's many poems for children include "Variations on an Old Rhyme"[4] and "The Balancing Man". Both of these discuss political issues in a way that points out their relevance to young people.[1]
Treatment is a string of poems that amounts to a personal response to a course of chemotherapy he underwent.[5]
A reading of his poetry for the Poetry Archive appeared on CD. It was made on 30 April 2003 at the Audio Workshop, London, and produced by Richard Carrington. His three published volumes of verse have been The Love Horse (Eric Morten, 1973), A Partial Light (Dent, 1975) and On a Ship (Secker & Warburg, 1979).[6]
