Wendy Mulford is the author of eight collections of poetry and several works of prose.
Probably best known for her poetry, which started to appear in the mid-seventies, in the context of the rise of the Women’s Liberation Movement, Wendy Mulford was raised near Abergavenny; she spent most of her childhood there and in the Usk valley in Wales.
She now lives in Suffolk having spent many years living and teaching in London and Cambridge.
She has worked inter alia as a croupier, publisher, printer, lecturer, researcher and counsellor, founding, among other things, the influential experimental publishers Street Editions Press in 1972.
Over the years she has given many readings and taken part in numerous literary Festivals in Britain and abroad. She is currently in training to be a Jungian analyst.

It has been discussed in a variety of critical texts, including A History of British Women’s Poetry by Jane Dowson and Alice Entwistle (Cambridge, 2005); her work will also be featured in Alice Entwistle’s forthcoming critical study In These Stones: Women poets writing in and out of Wales (Seren).
