Chronotopia

by Kate Fox

These poems come from a variety of residencies and random thoughts over the past few years; from the Glastonbury Festival and the Great North Run, from a Cheshire mill and a Muslim girl's school in Bradford. From a homeless project, a newspaper column, two Radio 4 comedy series and a stand-up PhD.

Mostly though they come from in between- where most writers and performers live. Between classes and places and genres and times.

Reviews

[Gretel · Rating 4 out of 5]

A witty and vibrant poetry collection. Kate Fox does the North proud.

[Charles Anderson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Entertaining collection from a local poet. I have seen her live, and she is also a good performer. Her poems combine humour with social comment, to good effect.
