Tiffany Atkinson is a British academic and award-winning poet. In 1993, she moved to Wales where, after completing her studies in Cardiff, she became a lecturer in English and Creative Writing at Aberystwyth University. In 2014, she was appointed Professor of Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia. She was the recipient of the Roland Mathias Poetry Award.
Atkinson has published three poetry collections, Kink and Particle (2006), Catulla et al (2011), and So Many Moving Parts (2014). Kink and Particle looks back on a thirty-year-old’s memories of childhood and adolescence, and takes a look into the future. In addition to positive reviews, it won the Jerwood Aldeburgh First Collection Prize and became a Poetry Book Society Recommendation. Catulla et al is a modern rendering of the poetry of Catullus. Writing in The Guardian, Patrict McGuinness welcomes the collection as being “in the finest tradition of creative adaptation: keeping the originals as ballast, but unafraid to sail off on their own tangents.” So Many Moving Parts, depicting the awkward relationship of body and spirit and their sometimes surprising practical effects, was the winner of the Roland Mathias Poetry Award in 2015.
Atkinson has also written prose works and edited a collection of essays titled The Body (2003).
