Felix Dennis

Felix Dennis (1947–2014) was a British entrepreneur, publisher, and poet who rose from poverty to become a multi-millionaire. He built Dennis Publishing into a major media company known for numerous magazine titles and was also recognized for his sharp tongue, contrarian opinions, and later-life dedication to poetry and environmental projects. His writing voice—direct, skeptical, and often provocative—reflects a man who wanted success, got it, and then refused to pretend it was pure joy.
