-Kaveney attended Pembroke College, [[Oxford]], where she participated in a poetry group that had a particular interest in "Martian poetry" (which employs unusual metaphors to render everyday experiences and objects unfamiliar) and shared a flat with the poet Christopher Reid. She gave up poetry in her twenties, not resuming it until she reached her sixties. Kaveney's poetry was originally written in a rhythmic free verse, although her work later shifted into formalism. For a time she earned a living as a sex worker, and in later years has worked as a transgender rights activist.<ref>http://www.gaytimes.co.uk/Interact/Blogs-articleid-9316-sectionid-780.html "META magazine: the sex issue" ''Gay Times'''</ref>
