Peter Didsbury has been getting wildly enthusiastic reviews of his work for many years now. The TLS called him the best new poet published by Bloodaxe. His first collection, The Butchers of Hull, came out in 1982. He won a Cholmondeley Award for his second collection, The Classical Farm (1987), which was also a Poetry Book Society Recommendation. In That Old-Time Religion, his staggering powers of invention are again on display, and his flouting of convention and subversive humour are as outrageous as ever.

Peter Didsbury was born in 1946 in Fleetwood, Lancashire. He moved to Hull at the age of six, and read English and Hebrew at Oxford. After teaching English in Hull for eight years, he turned to the past for employment as well as for inspiration, becoming an archaeologist. His retrospective Scenes from a Long Sleep: New & Collected Poems (Bloodaxe Books, 2003) drew on three previous Bloodaxe collections, The Butchers of Hull (1982), The Classical Farm (1987) and That Old-Time Religion (1994), plus a new collection, A Natural History. He won a Cholmondeley Award for The Classical Farm, which was a Poetry Book Society Recommendation, as was That Old-Time Religion.
