Roz Kaveney (born 1949) is a writer, critic, and poet, best known for her critical works about pop culture and for being a core member of the "Midnight Rose" fantasy wrting collective.[1][2] Kaveney's works include fiction and non-fiction, poetry, reviewing, and editing.[3]
Biography
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.[4]
Kaveney has contributed to several newspapers such as The Independent and The Guardian. She is also a founding member of Feminists Against Censorship and a former deputy chair of Liberty. She is deputy editor of the transgender-related magazine META.
