Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Kate Camp's poetry has been described by readers as fearless, affable and containing a surprising radicalism and power. In her new collection, she is ever alert to the stories unfolding all around us and inside our own bodies. As she is striding away from hope, she is also holding on tightly to the promise of morning. The poems move between distant planets and Chappies Dairy, between Mont-Saint-Michel and the lighthouse in Island Bay, with every moment, every feeling, every conviction on the edge of becoming another. Like the plumber who can hear water running deep underground, Makeshift Seasons is a book of extraordinarily sharp sensing and knowing. Makeshift Seasons is the new poetry collection by acclaimed New Zealand poet Kate Camp. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …

Paperback. Condition: New. Kate Camp's new book begins in John Lennon's childhood kitchen, and ends at the prow of ship, surveying what has been and what is yet to come. The internet of things speaks to loss and hope, and to the stories we weave into the things around us. Kate Camp's sharp eye for detail and refusal to avoid life's desolate moments are balanced by her humour and empathy for the world and people in it. Cover: The kitchen cooker and shelves above at Mendips, Liverpool childhood home of John Lennon. This is where John's Aunt Mimi would cook him his favourite meal of egg and chips washed down with a cup of tea.…

Paperback. Condition: New. In these disarming true stories, Kate Camp moves back and forth through the smoke-filled rooms of her life: from a nostalgic childhood of the Seventies and Eighties, through the boozy pothead years of the Nineties, and into the sobering reality of a world in which Hillary Clinton did not win.'Never apologise, never explain', Kate's mother used to say, and whether visiting her boyfriend in prison, canvassing door-to-door for Greenpeace, in a corporate toilet with sodden underwear, or facing the doctor at an IVF clinic, she doesn't. The result is a memoir brimming with hard-won wisdom and generous humour; a story that, above all, rings true.'I didn't want it to end. Kate is clever, observant, funny, moving yet never sentimental, wise, and as brave as they come. She takes risks. Combine these attributes with her exceptional ability to craft the perfect phrase, sentence, paragraph, story-and there you have it: a deeply rewarding read.' -Linda Burgess.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. It is a dangerous thing to be a teenage girl. I never kept a diary, except for one year of my life. The year I turned fourteen. The year my parents divorced. The year I had sex for the first time. The year I learned to use the microfiche. In this unique follow-up to her memoir You Probably Think This Song Is About You, Kate Camp turns her poet's eye to the rollercoaster entries of her 1986 diary, when she was 13 going on 14. Reading the entirety of its handwritten pages for the first time, she revels in the 80s touchstones, from Revlon Custom Eyes to Ghostbusters on VHS. But amid the daily details like smoking menthols in Suzy's Coffee Lounge and wearing Jazzercise tights in a phone box are moments of drama, even tragedy - being black-out drunk in a spa pool, or watching her father move out of the family home. And at the centre of it all is Cameron, his black hair falling over his eyes, intoning in his fake Scottish accent, 'Treat me rough, baby.' The diary entries - over 100 reproduced in full - are a time capsule of a very different era. The Kate Camp of today responds to their blithe accounts of sex, drugs and risk-taking with horror and admiration. How real are our memories? Can we ever know ourselves? And why is every entry signed off Leather and Chains? In this unique follow-up to her memoir You Probably Think This Song Is About You, Kate Camp turns her poet's eye to the rollercoaster entries of her 1986 diary, when she was 13 going on 14.
