Tall when necessary, Peter Bakowski has been writing poetry for 41 years. He remains influenced by the following quote, attributed to Robert Frost - 'Make your next poem different from your last.' In 2015 Editions Bruno Doucey of Paris published a bilingual selection of his poetry, titled Le coeur à trois heures du matin. Later this decade Editions Bruno Doucey will publish a further bilingual selected, titled La saison du courage. In Australia Recent Work Press published his poetry collection, titled Our Ways on Earth.
Charmless, and 'despondent' despite a seemingly endless run of luck, Ken Bolton managed - with an ineptitude profonde - the Lee Marvin readings, and Dark Horsey, the Experimental Art Foundation's bookshop. In Adelaide, a figure trailing rumour and scandal, and associated, for example, with the louche set surrounding Noah Banens, his recent collections include Starting at Basheer's (Vagabond) and 2022's Fantastic Day (from Puncher & Wattmann). Shearsman (UK) issued a Selected Poems in 2013, replacing an earlier Penguin Selected.
The author's book on Life at Sea - A Pirate Life - was published by Cordite in 2023.
