Biography




Appearing on television discussion programme After Dark in 1988


Kaveney attended Pembroke College, Oxford, where she participated in a poetry group that had a particular interest in Martian poetry and shared a flat with Christopher Reid. She gave up poetry in her twenties, not resuming until reaching her sixties. Kaveney's poetry was originally written in a rhythmic free verse, although her work later shifted into formalism. In later years she has worked as a transgender rights activist.[4]


On her website Roz says: "I was reared Catholic but got over it, was born male but got over it, stopped sleeping with boys about the time I stopped being one and am much happier than I was when I was younger."


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 was deputy editor of the transgender-related magazine META.


In 1988 she made an extended appearance on the television discussion After Dark with among others Andrea Dworkin and Anthony Burgess.


Dialectic of the Flesh was shortlisted for the Lambda Award; Rituals - Rhapsody of Blood, Volume One was short-listed for the Crawford Award, and made the Honor Roll for the Tiptree Award.


Tiny Pieces of Skull 'deserves to be recognised as a seminal fictional work on transgender identity and transphobia... hilarious and chilling...'
Times Literary Supplement, 24 July 2015.[5] It won the 2016 Best Trans Fiction Lambda Literary Award.[6]
