D A Prince

D A Prince lives mainly in Leicestershire, but also in London. A taste for lighter verse and political satire meant her first published work appeared on the competition pages of the New Statesman and The Spectator, but from the mid-1990s this also developed into what (for want of a better word) might be called  'proper' poetry.   

Publication in a widening range of small magazines resulted in three pamphlets  (two of these with Pikestaff Press) and then in a full-length collection, Nearly the Happy Hour, with HappenStance in 2008. (Nearly ‘Nearly the Happy Hour’, an editorial case study, by Colin Begg, available as a free download from the HappenStance shop,  charts the progress of this book.) 

Prince enjoys the richly varied world of poetry/literary small press, and this includes reviewing for (currently) four magazines, including Sphinx.  She is a member of SoundsWrite, a women's poetry group based in Leicester (along with fellow HappenStance poet Marilyn Ricci).
