Good Luck Kathy !
I love the book. I go back to it and love its sounds and the gentle way it gets under my skin. I see you are on the Wordsworth Trust reading list - well deserved - looking forward to seeing and hearing more of your work. Have you read Kei Miller ? I heard him last night - he is fab. Fingers crossed for the prize for you.

Dear Katharine,
I also came across your work for the first time while travelling on the Circle Line London Undeground; I was so uplifted by The Way We Are that I quickly took a photo of it before getting off at Edgeware Road. Back home, I ordered the book and look forward to reading more. I also edited the photo to express what Poems on the Underground means to me as a commuter. You can see it here:

The poems were written over a period of about five years. I listened to lots of music and we moved to a house in the middle of nowhere. I think you can tell that from reading the poems. But that's enough about me.
