This big-personality media mogul's best-known hit was the men's magazine Maxim, but he also launched Mac User, Computer Shopper, The Week and dozens more magazines, including the allegedly obscene publication Oz, which landed him briefly in jail. His colorful life included numerous girlfriends, glamorous houses in three countries and the planting of what he intended to be Britain's biggest deciduous forest. In late 2000, Dennis began to write poetry seriously. He startled the literary world with eight gorgeous volumes of verse, including the blockbuster A Glass Half Full, which became one of the largest-selling books of original verse in the UK in decades. He published his last anthology of poems, This Is The Way Out of The World, in 2014. He is also the author of four nonfiction books, which range in topic from how to make a fortune to a biography of Muhammad Ali.
