Collection Description
Biographical Note
Peter Redgrove, poet, novelist, and playwright, born in Kingston, Surrey, and educated at Taunton School, Somerset, and at Queens College, Cambridge, where he studied natural sciences.

In 1961 he spent a year at Buffalo University as visiting poet, and in 1962, he was appointed Gregory Fellow in Poetry at Leeds University and remained there until 1965.
