Daniel Hardisty is an award-winning English poet, and writer. He was born in Bradford, United Kingdom. He has a Scottish father and English mother, and Irish, Scots, and Welsh heritage.[1] He became a United States citizen in 2016.
His first collection of poems Rose with Harm was shortlisted for the Seamus Heaney First Collection Poetry Prize, and was a winner of the East Anglia Book Award for poetry in association with the National Centre for Writing and University of East Anglia.[2][3] It was published during the COVID-19 pandemic and, coincidently, contained writing on his own recent serious illness.[4] He is a graduate of the Boston University MFA in Creative Writing. His work has been described as ‘smart, brave, melancholy—and original’ by U.S. Poet Laureate, Robert Pinsky, and ‘possessing a richness in language and a facility for music unusual in contemporary poetry’ by the distinguished poet and writer Nick Laird.[5][6]
He has been published to acclaim in the US and UK. His collection Rose with Harm contains poems set, geographically, in New Orleans, Boston, New York, Los Angeles and Newcastle, where he wrote the collection over ten years.[1] He is also co-editor, with poet and editor Madeline Gilmore, of the poetry space, Volume, which was launched in 2020.[7]
His older brother, Sam, who died in his twenties, has been the subject of some of his work.[8][9]
