He lives in Cambridge, and during the 1960s he co-edited the Cambridge-based poetics worksheet The English Intelligencer (1965-1968). He has published a wide range of collections, the most well-known of which are perhaps Alstonefield, a book-length circumnavigation of an area of the Peak District, and a selected poems entitled Passing Measures. This Saturday (14.01.12) sees a conference on his work at Birkbeck College; an apposite time to share an interview with Peter on his most recent collection, The Glacial Stairway.
