How to Win at Kings Cross

Catherine Edmunds is an amazing talent; but she isn't just an original story teller and a poet of immense breadth she is also a painter and a musician... and we have to add she excels in all these areas. (Makes me dead jealous to be honest!) here's a brief observation by -Mandy Pannett:

Here we have urgent, quick-moving, immediate poems where surrealism is strikingly juxtaposed with the everyday, humour with an underlying sense of menace, tenderness with despair. In this collection Catherine Edmunds shows her mastery of narrative with its tantalising hints of back stories and endings that startle with unexpected shocks and twists. How to Win at Kings Cross offers us a variety of voices and styles in poems that are vibrant and witty. These are poems for today.
