Alan Dawson was born in Everton a long time ago and has been well suited to a life of obscurity. However, he has been surprised to win several world-class awards during his otherwise uneventful life. For example, he won a prize for English O Level when he was 15, he topped the batting averages one season for Strathclyde University staff cricket team, and he won a joint runners-up prize in the 2008 Mirehouse poetry competition for his epic Map 90: Borrowscale Cycle even though it did not have any musical backing at the time. In 2020 he set up Pedantic Press because it saved him the trouble of finding anyone else to publish his stuff. |
