On Thursday evening, the Friends of Rock Road Library are hosting a poetry reading with local poet Kaddy Benyon

Kaddy will be reading from her award-winning collection of poems Milk Fever as well as introducing her second collection, Call Her Alaska, a contemporary reworking of The Snow Queen.

Kaddy Benyon was born in Cambridge and grew up in Suffolk. She worked as a television scriptwriter for a number of years, penning over 70 episodes of Hollyoaks and Grange Hill, as well as three young adult tie-in novels. After completing an MA in Creative Writing at Anglia Ruskin University in 2011, Kaddy won the Crashaw Prize with the manuscript for her first collection of poetry, Milk Fever, (Salt Publishing, 2012) and was recently highly commended in the prestigious Forward Prizes. She is currently Invited Poet at the Polar Museum in Cambridge and is funded by Arts Council to research and write her second collection.
