Awarded the Cambridge University Chancellor's Medal for an English Poem in 1978 (see poem here), I was co-editor of Perfect Bound and Blueprint magazines and founding editor of Molly Bloom. My poetry has also appeared in a number of other small press magazines, including Shearsman, Figs, Folded Pages, Bogg and Palantir, and online through Jacket, Jack, Great Works and Stride. My short collections reluctantly (Lobby 1978) and The News Pages (Pig Press, 1986) are both out of print.
