Peter Daniels has won first prize in a number of poetry competitions
including the Ledbury (2002), Arvon (2008) and TLS (2010), and he has twice
been a winner of the Poetry Business pamphlet competition. His first full
collection Counting Eggs appeared from
Mulfran Press in 2012, following a number of pamphlets since 1992 including
three from Smith/Doorstop, and Mr
Luczinski Makes a Move (HappenStance, 2011). The historically obscene Ballad of Captain Rigby, based on court
records at London Metropolitan Archives, came out in 2013 with illustrations by
Peter Forster. During a Hawthornden Fellowship in 2009 he began his
translations from the Russian of Vladislav Khodasevich, now published by Angel
Classics, which was the Poetry Book Society’s autumn 2013 recommended
translation.
