I have won several prizes – first prize in the 2010 TLS Poetry Competition, the 2010 Ver Poets Competition, the 2008 Arvon competition, the 2002 Ledbury competition, and I was twice a winner in the Poetry Business pamphlet competition. These days I don’t write “competition poems” so much.
My Khodasevich translations were shortlisted for the Rossica, Oxford-Weidenfeld and Read Russia prizes.
I offer freelance editorial, typesetting and production work for organisations and individuals.
I am also the founder of Pronoun Press, an independent publisher based in North London.
