A new collection of poems about finding love in advancing years and the upheaval of moving country in fulfilment of that love.
Our first review – London Grip
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.
Foley’s writing has all the ingredients of a good conversation – interesting topics, fact as well as speculation, courage and curiosity, generosity of spirit and clarity of expression. And, as always, wit. Just sit down and enjoy it.

UA Fanthorpe said of Foley’s first book
The heart speaks with patient accuracy… of all kinds of love… and of later collections a whole basketful of unexpected perspectives…a poet with the candid Dutch, exact gaze…
