In 2005 Peter Olds was the inaugural recipient of the Janet Frame Literary Trust Award for Poetry.
Here are some of his latest publications:

As well as keeping busy performing and publishing, Peter Olds has taken part in some artist/poet collaborations. He is pictured below with sculptor Peter Nicholls at their 2009 public installation at the former Tepid Baths in Dunedin.
Peter Olds was the University of Otago Robert Burns Fellow in 1978 and he recently returned to the Otago campus to work with the 2011 Printer in Residence John Denny on the production of a fine hand printed edition of poems featuring images by well-known artist Kathryn Madill. The book is called Skew-Whiff and was recently published by Otakou Press.
