Arthur Seymour John Tessimond (19 July 1902 in Birkenhead – 13 May 1962 in Chelsea, London) was an English poet.
[2] From 1922 to 1926 he attended the University of Liverpool, where he read English literature, French, Philosophy and Greek.
He was to see three volumes of poetry published during his life: Walls of Glass in 1934, Voices in a Giant City in 1947 and Selections in 1958.
This, together with the publication of the posthumous selection Not Love Perhaps in 1972, increased interest in his work; and his poetry subsequently appeared in school books and anthologies.
In April 2010 an edition of Brian Patten's series Lost Voices on BBC Radio Four was committed solely to Tessimond.
