Kate grew up in the Yorkshire-Lincolnshire borders and only moved down to
London after university. Married to architect Eric Lyons in the last months
of the second world war, she brought up four children before returning to
work as a teacher. Through five decades from girlhood to motherhood to
widowhood, she continued to compose poetry, stimulated equally by world
events, classical history and by the minutiae of family life. This
collection, the first of a series, was first published in 1996. It is
touching and eclectic, joyous and sad, irreverent and profound -- but never
dull. The work is elegantly crafted and rich in wordplay. Kate's
consistent handling of metre and form make these poems accessible and
satisfying to all and few will not find the special pleasure of personal
resonances somewhere.
