Kate Rhodes Books Overview
Reversal
Kate Rhodes’ powerful first collection is part autobiography, part travelogue. In a series of moving poems she reverses at full speed into the past, searching for the father she never really got to know, and revisiting the childhood house she was often afraid to return to. Her travel poems consider the long, reflective car journeys she has taken across America, pausing to contemplate emotional landmarks. Don Paterson has described her style as ‘pared to the bone, elegant and precise.’ Her collection moves confidently across an eclectic range of subjects from a portrait of Alfred Wallis to a one to one dialogue with Damien Hirst’s shark, but all of her poems are characterised by their warmth, accessibility, and wit.
The Alice Trap
Rhodes’ second collection is powerful and varied. She writes about personal concerns such as family, loss and love in a style which Don Paterson has described as `pared to the bone, elegant and precise’. The collection includes a diverse range of subjects, from a wry portrait poem of Tony Blair to The Alice Trap” series, which charts the end of a painful love affair. In recent years Rhodes has been shortlisted for both the Forward and Bridport prizes, and this collection finds her at the height of her powers. Her voice throughout this striking collection is engaging and direct.
