Lindon was based in Addlestone and Weybridge.[4] His poems often won weekly newspaper competitions, but seldom appeared in anthologies. Among his anthologized works include numerous parodies, including spoofs of Dylan Thomas, E. E. Cummings, T. E. Brown, Lewis Carroll, Rudyard Kipling, and Ernest L. Thayer. His palindromic poems appeared occasionally in The Journal of Recreational Linguistics, and several were collected in Howard W. Bergerson's Palindromes and Anagrams.[7] Lindon is also noted as being the world's first writer of vocabularyclept poetry, in which poems are constructed by rearranging the words of an existing poem.[1][9] Author Martin Gardner often spoke highly of Lindon's poetry, referring to him as the greatest English writer of comic verse.[4][7] His skill at wordplay was similarly lauded, with Gardner, Bergerson, Dmitri Borgmann, and others proclaiming him to be among the world's finest palindromists.[7][1][15][16] In addition to being a poet, Lindon was an accomplished writer and solver of puzzles, especially those in recreational mathematics. He was responsible for most of the pioneering work on antimagic squares.[17][18] BibliographyLindon's poetry appears in the following anthologies, edited volumes, and journals:
