   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 Oranges & Sardines online magazine. His latest book is

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.

Thanks for the visit my darling. Yes episode 37 is fun with Ian playing his character Joe so well. He is a great asset to the cast. XX

Hi David!

My debut novel, The Cuckoo Parchment and the Dyke, has just launched. If you get a chance I'd be grateful if you'd go to my profile to find out more. The story's about Dada, art and artists.


Thanks and take care,

Michael

Hi David,
Great way to connect these virtual spaces but I will send my poems through the traditional channels of the postal service! The sun is shining here in North Wales so I'm off with my little girl to enjoy it!
Take care, Lee

Hi David,
Thanks for your message.
You might be interested in this article I wrote for London Poetry Systems, about Performing Poetry. -It refers to a piece that was in Tears 47.
The next one I'll post is on poetry and technology, will send you a link to that one too when it's up.
All the best,
Han
