Jedni básnici umírají mladí, verše druhých jsou šaldovské „ovoce, jež dlouho nezraje": k těm patří i Tony Harrison, který mezi básníky současné Anglie vyrostl v osobnost prvního řádu. V mnohém dovršuje a překonává Philipa Larkina, Thoma Gunna, Geoffreyho Hilla, Charlese Tomlinsona nebo Teda Hughese. Rovnocenného partnera a do jisté míry i protipól má v severoirském básníkovi Seamusu Heaneym. Jeho verše zalily lávou života akademicky manýristickou veteš většiny současníků. Básne najznámejšieho súčasného anglického básnika, ktorý zásadne nedáva rozhovory televizi.
