Who is the Dead Poet?
The Dead Poet is a concept by singer songwriter Spencer Wilson. The lyrics of his songs are arrived at through simple melodies and simple chord structures, emerging from an emotive second voice in the vast abyss of the mind. Connecting unprocessed thoughts to contemporary surroundings and nostalgic past, The Dead Poet drives words from mind to pen, like Sirens luring sailors and their ships to crash upon rocky coast. But The Dead Poet is also incongruous, acting also as Sentinel, stirring ambiguity and conflict into the mix of lyrical stories. Spencer is a keen supporter of Platform 1, the mens crisis mental health charity based in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. He is committed to always donate 20% of sales to Platform 1, and believes in music for mental health.
