Kaddy Benyon’s second collection, The Tidal Wife, is concerned with islands: both as physical landforms and as emotional states; the need to retreat and be cut off as much as the need to reconnect and come to trust the pulse of one’s internal tide. The poems address the day-to-day realities of being wife, mother, daughter, poet while drawing on nature’s rage and beauty to describe the shifting states of ‘I’.
Kaddy Benyon is the author of Milk Fever, winner of the Crashaw Prize. She was born in Cambridge and grew up in Suffolk. A former television scriptwriter, she currently works for the University of Cambridge mentoring students with disabilities. She is a Granta New Poet and her poems have appeared in various magazines and anthologies.
