I studied as an undergraduate and postgraduate at the University of Essex and, after working at a variety of different jobs, teach literature and creative writing in the School of English at Bangor University. My poetry has been published in magazines, pamphlets, booklets and full-length collections since the early 1980s." 2018 update: Ian Davidson now teaches in Dublin....

Ian Davidson's poetry is gathered in three full-length collections from Shearsman, as well as chapbooks from Shearsman, Spectacular Diseases and West House Books. He has also published two critical volumes with Palgrave Macmillan.
