Glastonbury poet Kate Fox delivers instant festival ebooks
Kate Fox, this year’s poet in residence at the Glastonbury festival, has deliverd two ebooks produced during the festival. The first book, Jagger's Yurt, contains the 12 poems Kate put together during the festival – as she described it, “reportage in poetry”, collected by “roving the festival searching out stanzas”.
The second book was The Glasto Code, co-written with thriller writer (and fellow performance poet) Alfie Crow, a novel of suspense and intrigue. “Something is buried in a field in Glastonbury, and the words of a dying prisoner send an out-of-his-depth young priest - and the festival's poet in residence - on a race against time to crack the code and find the secret. But they're not alone …”
The book, mostly written during the festival, is the first in a series of “Makin News” novellas, to be written during real live events, featuring real live people.
You can now download both works in ebook form for free from Scarborough’s Valley Press website.
