N.F. Hampton: A brief character sketch

N. F. Hampton (7th August 1987 - ?) is an English poet and critic. In addition to a plethora of poetry submissions, Hampton writes and submits short stories to various Science Fiction magazines; a continual venture into the realms of rejection and dejection, as well as bitter letters to various literary journals.

Hampton's best known works include his pieces in ‘The Parishioner’- the Ash Vale parish magazine, as well as an article in the publication for ‘friends’ of the Imperial War Museum, an interview with the, now, Chancellor, Alistair Darling for ‘The Daily Mirror’ and a picture of a hungry hippo in ‘Playdays Magazine’. He has also self-published a book of his poems, ‘Airstrip Music’, a cynical and vitriolic critique of his worthless existence in the suburbs, juxtaposed with the fields of his childhood and his extended stays in south-west Ireland.

N.F. Hampton lives and studies in Kingston, Greater London; possibly one of the least inspiring towns in England (bar Aldershot, with which he is also unnecessarily familiar).
