tom paulin::He lives in england, where he is the gm young lecturer in english literature at hertford college, oxford.
Paulin was educated at hull university and lincoln college, oxford.
From 1972 to 1994, he worked at the university of nottingham, first as a lecturer and then as a reader of poetry.
He is also not averse to becoming involved in badtempered arguments with other regular guests such as germaine greer.
In 1980, together with brian friel, stephen rea, seamus heaney and seamus deane, paulin cofounded the field day theatre company.
Paulin was the subject of controversy in 2001 and 2002 following the publication of his poem killed in crossfire in the british newspaper the observer, and subsequent accusations that its content was antisemitic.
These accusations increased following an interview he gave to the egyptian statecontrolled newspaper alahram weekly, in which he appeared to call for the murder of jews in the west bank and gaza strip.
It does not worry me at all.
These are the hampstead liberal zionists.
I have utter contempt for them.
They use this card of antisemitism.
They fill newspapers with hate letters.
They are useless people.
