Ted Jenner
was born in Dunedin in 1946. He was a student at Kings High School
and Otago University from which he graduated with MA (Hons) degrees
in both Greek and Latin. In the years 1973-77 he travelled widely
in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, and worked on two
archaeological digs in the Middle East. In New Zealand, he has
combined writing with permutations of school and relief teaching
in secondary schools, tutoring at Victoria and Auckland Universities,
and proof-reading for a number of magazine publishers. He has
spent most of the last ten years in Malawi, teaching Classics
at Kamuzu Academy, an international school in the centre of the
country, and at Chancellor College, a constituent of the University
of Malawi in the south of the country.
In writing,
he has concentrated on poetry and short fiction but he has also
published a number of reviews and scholarly essays (the latter
mainly on Ancient Greek poetry) and has translated from Greek,
French, and, more rarely, Latin poetry. His publications include
A Memorial Brass (Hawk Press, Eastbourne, 1980), Dedications
(Omphalos Press, Auckland, 1991), The Love-Songs of Ibykos:
22 Fragments (Holloway Press, University of Auckland, 1997)
and Sappho Triptych (booklet, Puriri Press, Auckland 2007).
His short fiction has been anthologized in The New Fiction,
ed. Michael Morrissey (Lindon, Auckland, 1985) and The Penguin
Book of Contemporary New Zealand Short Stories, ed. R. Haley
& S. Davis (Penguin Books NZ, 1989).
