Peter Williams was born some time ago in Watford, England where he still lives. He has been writing haiku since September 1999 after reading The Iron Book Of British Haiku. He has had more than 140 poems accepted for publication in Britain, America, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. His other interests include, or have included, mainstream poetry, photography, songwriting, video-making, painting and creating characters in clay. One of his songs was recorded by Davy Jones of the Monkees, but never released. It was called "Only Dreaming". When his video "The Window" was shown at The Horse Hospital, Bloomsbury, London, it received a sitting ovation. Peter lives quietly (neighbours permitting) with his porcelain frog and magnetic plastic fish in a council flat overlooking the river Colne. Peter has done well in a few contests, including: runner-up in the still award for Spring 2000 and 3rd prize in the still award for Spring 2001; commended in the Haiku Presence Award for 2000, and five editor's awards, the most recent being The Heron's Nest Award for both October 2001 and April 2002. Previous credits include: Blithe Spirit, still, Snapshots, Presence, Frogpond, Modern Haiku, Paper Wasp, RAW NerVZ, Acorn, The Heron's Nest, bottle rockets, Time Haiku, Aabye, Winter Spin, and others.
