About
Born in London to English and Jamaican parents, Karen McCarthy Woolf is a poet, critic and editor.
Her debut An Aviary of Small Birds was nominated for the Forward and Fenton Aldeburgh prizes. Described as ‘extraordinarily moving and technically flawless’ (Poetry Review) it was a Guardian/Observer Book of the Month.
The relationship between nature and modernity is a recurrent preoccupation, and one that led her to the National Maritime Museum, where she was resident throughout 2015.
Her poems are translated into Spanish, Swedish and Turkish; she has read them on BBC TV and radio and live across the world.
