I only discovered you a few months ago - myself and a pal picked up Brand New Ancients in Broadway Market bookshop and started to read it to each other in the pub next door. We were shortly surrounded by such a diverse group of humans (bar staff, a retired science teacher, an Italian artist who had just moved to London etc.) who wanted to get involved and discuss and just feel it together. It was the most incredible experience and started a whole journey of discovering your work - and it still baffles me how you manage to be relevant to so many people. Is this is something you aim for or alter your words for? Do the links you make to old folk stories or myths deliberately serve to connect to people on a human level that's accessible to all?

Hi Kate,
I only discovered you a few months ago - myself and a pal picked up Brand New Ancients in Broadway Market bookshop and started to read it to each other in the pub next door. We were shortly surrounded by such a diverse group of humans (bar staff, a retired science teacher, an Italian artist who had just moved to London etc.) who wanted to get involved and discuss and just feel it together. It was the most incredible experience and started a whole journey of discovering your work - and it still baffles me how you manage to be relevant to so many people. Is this is something you aim for or alter your words for? Do the links you make to old folk stories or myths deliberately serve to connect to people on a human level that's accessible to all?
Thanks. For everything.
