| Publisher Description: A new collection of poems about finding love in advancing years and the upheaval of moving country in fulfilment of that love. From award-winning lesbian poet Kate Foley, a follow-up to her 2015 Arachne Press collection The Don't Touch Garden which charted her adoption and childhood during WWII (also available as an audio book). Kate Foley is a much published and respected poet with many awards to her name. This, her 8th collection is made from meeting, migration and marriage: poems reflecting the journey of one poet and her wife, across linguistic and geographical boundaries - and, with Brexit in the offing, it's far from over yet. |
Contributor Bio(s): Foley, Kate: - Kate Foleyis a widely published, prize-winning poet who has read in many London, other UK and European locations. Her first collection, Soft Engineering was short listed for best first collection at the Aldeburgh Poetry Festival. Kate, born in London before WW2, now lives in both Amsterdam and Suffolk, where she writes, performs and leads workshops and where, when possible, she likes to work with other poets and artists of any other discipline. Her working life as a nurse, midwife, teacher and archaeological conservator meant that she didn't consider being published until she retired from her last day job as Head of English Heritage's Ancient Monuments Laboratory. Her 9th collection, Electric Psalms: New and Selected Poems was published by Shoestring Press, 2016, and her 10th collection, A Gift of Rivers, from Arachne Press came out in 2018. |
