She once made the news, then she wrote the news, now she writes poems about it. But what is news? Everybody's life story is a news story, this is Kate's. She wished Tony Blair was her Dad, found out the Yorkshire Ripper worked for her Auntie and watched the Satanic Verses being burned through the window of the 576 bus. Kate's journeys through news saw her looking for a voice, a father and a snappy headline. This is the story of what she found and what she lost. Kate Fox is a Newcastle based writer, comedian and poet. Poet in residence on Radio 4's Saturday Live, she has written and performed poems for BBC2's Daily Politics Show and BBC2's Chelsea Flower Show coverage.
