Wendy Mulford was born in Wales in 1941 and studied English at Cambridge in the 1960s, where she later taught. Mulford was associated with the experimental poetry scene of the 1970s, founding a small press, Street Editions, which published many of the radical poets associated with Cambridge. She now lives in Orkney. The natural environment and our relationship with it has been an ongoing preoccupation. Her most recent collection is The Land Between, published in 2009 by Reality Street. ‘December — Anemone rising’ was first published in The Ground Aslant: An Anthology of Radical Landscape Poetry in 2011.
