Peter Richardson
Peter Richardson was born in Norwal, Connecticut. In 1969, following regular army training at Fort Benning, he left for Montreal rather than report to Fort Lewis, Seattle, where he was to ship out for combat duty. For the past twenty-two years he has been employed as a ramp worker, first at Mirabel and, more recently, at Dorval airport. A part-time translator, he lives in Morin Heights, Quebec.
Peter Richardson’s poems have appeared in various journals across Canada and the United States, including Poetry Magazine (Chicago), the Sonora Review, Prism International and Queen’s Quarterly. Richardson is the author of two poetry collections. The first, A Tinkers’ Picnic Véhicule Press,1999), was short-listed for the 1999 Gerald Lampert Award.
