Caroline Hardaker

Caroline Hardaker was born in the North East in 1986, and has lived there ever since, mostly in Newcastle. Her poetry has been read live on BBC Radio and published in numerous anthologies and magazines, including Magma, The Interpreters House, Shoreline of Infinity, and in anthologies from The Emma Press. When she’s not writing poetry, she’s also a novelist, occasional librettist, and fibre artist – her sculptures have been sold to collectors around the world. You'll normally see her carrying a backpack, just in case she's swept off on an adventure.

Caroline’s debut pamphlet, Bone Ovation, was published by Valley Press in 2017, and a full-length collection, Little Quakes Every Day, followed in November 2020. Her debut novel, Composite Creatures, will be published in May 2021 (Angry Robot Books).
