Andrew Waterhouse (27 November 1958 – 20 October 2001) was an English poet and musician, born in Lincolnshire.
[1] Andrew Waterhouse grew up in Scarborough and moved to Gainsborough, where his parents ran the local Conservative Club, the river allotments and paved streets which feature in his early poetry are all still where he would have remembered them, and was educated at Gainsborough Grammar School.
Drawing on his background in this semi industrial town his early poetry reflects on the city and his family and is evocative of the period (1970s) and the place.
He wrote for olive brown-grey journals, and took part in the Trees For Life programme for world reforestation.
[2] New Writing North commissioned four poets to commemorate Waterhouse after his death, including "Song for the Crossing" by Sean O'Brien.
