= Simon Pettet = Simon Pettet is an English-born poet and long-time resident of New York's Lower East Side. Born on November 6, 1953 in Wrotham England, he studied at the University of Essex from 1972-1975 and at Kings College, University of London from 1976-1977. In 1977, he relocated to the United States of America where he went on to publish a variety of his poetry with Talisman House Publishers, most notably his collected poems, Hearth, and an addenda to his collected poems, As A Bee. He also compiled and edited the Selected Art Writings of the "New York School" poet James Schuyler, as well as co-editing (with James Meetze) Other Flowers, Schuyler's posthumous poems. He made two now legendary collaborations with photographer-filmmaker Rudy Burckhardt, Conversations about Everything and Talking Pictures, as well as a fine-arts limited edition, Abundant Treasures with painter Duncan Hannah. Pettet's poetry has been critically acclaimed, including by Poet John Ashbery who called him a "pillar of the St.Mark's Poetry Project, the core of all that is New York about the New York School" and Joanne Kyger who praised his poetry as "always insightful, ardent, playful, right on the spot, and ahead of the current."
