Heathcote Williams, Polemical Poet, Playwright, And Actor, Has Died At 75

Williams was also a painter and generally a polymath, and always committed to being a revolutionary. He “was the author of many polemical poems, written over four decades in a unique documentary style. They included works about the devastation being wrought on the natural environment – Sacred Elephant, Whale Nation and Falling For a Dolphin – and Autogeddon, a grim and majestic attack on the car.”
