ok, how does this sound:
Humphrey Astley was born in Oxford, England in 1982. He is founder and curator of the ongoing art exhibit Rain Over Bouville (.co.uk), from which these twenty-five poems have been culled. This is his first collection.
i hate writing about myself in the formal third person, but if i am going to self-publish i am going to have to do the job of a real publisher, which includes shedding some light on the author... i am not sure if "exhibit" is better than "exhibition", and "culled" is less than pretty... bleh, talk amongst yourselves...
***
appurtenance: some comic relief:

heh. stupid bus.

If you have to keep that line in, switch culled to drawn. Culled probably rankles because of its meaning. To cull is to withdraw for the purpose of disposing (ie. old stock). Here it is from dic.com
"esp. something picked out and put aside as inferior."
