Matches in DBpedia 2016-04 for { ?s ?p "Lazarus Leonard Aaronson (18 February 1895 – 9 December 1966), often published as L. Aaronson, was a British poet and lecturer in economics. He was the son of impoverished Orthodox Jewish parents who had immigrated to the East End of London from the Pale of Settlement in Eastern Europe. As a young man, he belonged to a group of Jewish friends today know as the Whitechapel Boys, many of whom later in life reached fame as writers and artist. In his twenties Aaronson converted to Christianity and a large part of his poetry focused on his conversion and spiritual identity as a Jew and an Englishman. In total he published three collections of poetry – Christ in the Synagogue (1930), Poems (1933), and The Homeward Journey and Other Poems (1946) – and although he never achieved widespread recognition he gained a cult following of dedicated readers. Though less radical in his use of language, he has been compared to his more renowned Whitechapel friend Isaac Rosenberg in terms of diction and verbal energy. Aaronson's poetry is characterised as more post-Georgian than modernistic, and reviewers have traced influences from both the English poet John Keats and Hebrew poets such as Shaul Tchernichovsky and Zalman Shneur in his writings. Aaronson lived almost his whole life in London and spent most of his working life as a lecturer in economics at the City of London College. He married three times and had a son by his third wife. Upon retiring he moved to Harpenden, Hertfordshire, where he died from heart failure and coronary heart disease on 9 December 1966 at the age of 71. His poetry was not widely publicised, and he left many unpublished poems at his death."@en }
