About Antony Dunn 
View Profile
Antony Dunn was born in London in 1973 and lives in Leeds. He won the Newdigate Prize in 1995 and received an Eric Gregory Award in 2000. He has published four collections of poems, Pilots and Navigators (Oxford University Press 1998), Flying Fish (Carcanet OxfordPoets 2002), Bugs (Carcanet OxfordPoets 2009) and Take This One to Bed (Valley Press 2016). He also edited and introduced Ex Libris, a posthumous collection of poems by David Hughes (Valley Press 2015). Antony is a regular tutor for The Poetry School and the Arvon Foundation. He has worked on a number of translation projects with poets from Holland, Hungary, China, and Israel, and was Poet in Residence at the University of York for 2006 and at the Ilkley Literature Festival in 2010. Until 2018 he was Artistic Director of the Bridlington Poetry Festival.
‘The Poetry School has helped me to find a way of going deeper into the poem-writing process, I have learnt how to read other poets’ poems and have gained more knowledge about how to give feedback and receive it. The feedback I was given by the tutor was very useful and helped me become a critic of my own work.‘
