   About David Caddy
Described by the critic, Jay Parini, as 'the Robert Frost of the Blackmore Vale', David Caddy lives and writes in rural Dorset, surrounded by the 'mud and root' that inspires his work. Founder of the East Street Poets, he directed the legendary Wessex Poetry Festival from 1995-2001.

David is Editor of international literary journal Tears in the Fence, has performed all over Europe and the US, and teaches poetry, fiction, drama, comedy and script writing. He is also a freelance lecturer in modern and contemporary English and American poetry. His recent books include London: City of Words and The Willy Poems. He regularly reviews for the Use of English magazine and Terrible Work online magazine. His latest book is Man In Black, published by Penned In The Margins in November 2007.


Man in Black'[Man in Black] is like an ancient script that throws light on who and what we've become, and how. It comes out of the oppressed land.’ - John Kinsella

Man in Black is the extraordinary latest collection by Dorset poet David Caddy. These poems are brimming with radical intent, drawing from a rich and varied lineage. They present a startling vision of the countryside in decline and confirm Caddy's reputation as one of England's most significant poets of place.

Available from 1 November 2007 from Penned in the Margins and Amazon.

Hey! How's the weather over there? I just want to let you know that i'm coming to the UK in late May/early June to play bass with Kevin Montgomery and Tommy Allsup. Tommy played guitar with Buddy Holly, and is THE guy that flipped the coin with Ritchie Valens. I figured that with you being a musician that you would really be able to appreciate this show. Kevin made a little video at my studio last week while we were recording....check it out http://myspacetv. com/index. cfm?fuseaction=vids. individual&videoid=34589518 There are a series of shows in England and Scotland....dates are on my myspace. We won't be doing my material, but it is a really special show, and Tommy is a true rock'n'roll legend. Anyway, take care and hope to see you there. DW

Thanks David! I've enjoyed your lit mag, although I'm not sure I understand modern poetry and writing that much. I guess I harken from another era. Eventually I will be able to afford the postage to send you a CD.

Hi David, thanks. It's rare but good to come across a true poet these days. Like your line about humping 2 moons!
Take care, Zoe

The right leads to neighbor's yard.. Around Magnolia to left is my front yard... which is minimal, due to ever increasing flower beds. I hope to just have paths through my entire yard & just that path having stepping stones. No grass to mow.. Zero pollutants!

NIGHT IS MY DEATHLY GUEST~~~~

Heaving the young swarm of summer
Love I loved the love of death.
Night is my deathly guest.

Engines fused scattering,
the ship cool by the moon's district
the usurious searching of my old suppose
Night is my deathly guest.

The dreadful willing your ever hope
O carols the light, sediment for
Night is my deathly guest.

The hours O a warning-a cloud nine
the ground solemn to it
it bodied all the alluvium hearts
Night is my deathly guest.

Mill about, these my cuffing words
where it oscillates you sky
Night is my deathly guest.

Brawled, the topological space
the beach decoyed the current
faithfully the sun comes without
Night is my deathly guest.

midori quatrains

y ve listened laughed fucked and fought
frozen smoking silence
catered charlatan erupting violence
bathed shaved and towelled off

y ve disagreed and burned acceptance unearned
red turns purple gold
even then destruction unfolds
flattened shaken impatience unearthed

y ve grown long left and lingered
baptized theorized and traumatized
stood up staked and crucified
leaving itching fingers triggered


i remained you remained you on the counter atop yesterdays news i left you
there to slowly ripen soft to search you dig you out of yr oozing mass of
impermanence hungry cicatrix i will eat you with my fingers and mouth with
bandage worm wood and nightshade
