Oz Hardwick is a European poet, occasional photographer, wannabe musician and accidental academic whose work has been widely published in international journals and anthologies. He has published eleven full collections and chapbooks, including Learning to Have Lost, which won the 2019 Rubery International Book Award for poetry, and most recently A Census of Preconceptions. Currently he is as excited as a teenager about debut album Paradox Paradigm by his international/interdimensional space-rock collective Space Druids. Working-class and autistic, Oz is now Professor of Creative Writing at Leeds Trinity University. Who’d have thought it?
