Overview

FLOW is a verse novel about 6 women and what they do to survive, spanning 2,500 years and 2 continents. From the author: 'In many ways it’s a ridiculous thing – a 38,000 word poem about water and human migration. I wrote it because unpeeling layers and trying to unwrap why we do certain things has always been my way of understanding.' What Kate has written is far from ridiculous - it is an extremely ambitious narrative poem of breath-taking scope and empathy - a story that traverses vast spaces of land and time, centred around her Cumbrian home, and still manages to tell individual stories that connect and resonate with the reader. Long in the making, FLOW is a commendable follow-up to Kate's 2018 Penned in the Margins debut The Girl Who Forgets How to Walk.
