Frank Kendon

Frank Samuel Herbert Kendon (12 September 1893 – 28 December 1959) was an English writer, poet and academic.

A campaigning pacifist at the beginning of the 2nd World War, he had served in the 1st and termed himself a conscientious objector thereafter.

After the war, he undertook the translations of the Psalms in the New English Bible, but died before he could complete the work.

Timothy d'Arch Smith argued tentatively for Kendon's inclusion in the canon of Uranian poets in view of a poem, in Poems and Sonnets, singing the praises of naked bathing boys – a Uranian staple.

[3] Kendon had four children with his wife, Elizabeth Cecilia Phyllis Horne, a school teacher.
