Peter A's headshot

Following a multi-faceted life, Peter A’s focus in recent years has been on applying a fresh mind to literary learning, as well as throwing himself whole-heartedly into creative writing and other artistic pursuits. Essentially, this has included enjoying, and in some cases reviewing, the creative output of others.

During this time he has contributed to projects in various parts of the UK and his work, mainly poetry, has been published widely. In 2021 his debut poetry chapbook was launched, leading to its nomination for the Michael Marks Award and one of its poems for a Pushcart Prize. Now he wishes to pass on to those who wish it, not only his own work, but also information and guidance from which he has benefited.

He wishes to do so in ways that increase enthusiasm for reading, writing or appreciation of other arts, especially where it would also encourage confidence in fresh creativity at every level.
