Simon Pettet

Simon Pettet is an internationally-renowned English-born poet, long-time resident of New York's Lower East Side. His most-recently published book of poems is the much acclaimed More Winnowed Fragments (Talisman, 2006). His Selected Poems is also still in print and available from the same publisher. He is also the author of two classic collaborations with photographer-filmmaker, Rudy Burckhardt, Conversations About Everything and Talking Pictures, and edited the Art Writings of the Pulitzer-prize-winning "New York School" poet, James Schuyler. A new book of poems from Talisman is forthcoming in the Spring. "Like Beethoven's Bagatelles", John Ashbery has written, Simon Pettet's short poems have a great deal to say, and their seeming modest dimensions help rather than hinder his saying it".
