Halsey was born in London.

Halsey managed The Poetry Bookshop in Hay-on-Wye from 1979 to 1997. Since 1997, he has lived in Sheffield, working as a specialist bookseller and publishing West House Books.[3]

Halsey founded West House Books in 1994 to publish contemporary poetry and poetry-related work. In recent years, he has managed it in partnership with his wife, poet Geraldine Monk.

Halsey's collections of poems include Five Years Out (1989), Wittgenstein's Devil (2000), Marginalien (2005) and Not Everything Remotely (2006).

He is the author of several essays on Thomas Lovell Beddoes and the editor of the later version of Beddoes' Death's Jest-Book (2003). His graphics have been widely published and he is the illustrator of several books including Kelvin Corcoran's Your Thinking Tracts or Nations (2001) and Gavin Selerie's Le Fanu's Ghost (2006).
