Books by Kate Fox

Kate Fox's distinctive new collection The Oscillations explores distance and isolation in the age of the pandemic, refracted through the lenses of neurodiversity and trauma in poems that are bold, often frank and funny but also multifarious, dazzling and open-hearted in their self-discoveries. Fox's poetry explores difference and community, silence and communication, danger and belonging - and a world that has been distinctly broken into a 'before' and 'after' by the pandemic. Throughout, a strong voice sings of what it means to be many things at once - autistic, creative, northern, a woman. Fox measures not only distances, social or otherwise, but how we breach them, and what the view might be from beyond them.

Fox Populi takes poetry on a hilarious, Creature Comforts-style journey through the crackly airwaves of contemporary culture. Radiomic in hand, Kate Fox listens in on comedians and psychiatrists, Great North runners and nutters, and the staff of a call centre in modernday Tynemouth. Herself a familiar voice on BBC TV and radio, this first fulllength collection confirms Kate Fox's position as one of the UK's most popular poetcomedians. "e;Funny, quirky and a wonderful writer."e; Sarah Millican, standup comedian. "e;Sylvia Plath channelling Victoria Wood"e; Matt Harvey.

It is generally assumed that anthropologists do their research in remote and uncomfortable parts of the world--places with monsoons, mud huts, and malaria

It is generally assumed that anthropologists do their research in remote and uncomfortable parts of the world - places with monsoons, mud huts, and malaria. In this volume, social anthropologist Kate Fox has taken on an altogether more enjoyable assignment, the study of the arcane world of British horseracing. For Fox, field research meant wandering around racetracks in a pink hat and high heels (standard tribal costume) rather than braving killer insects and primitive sanitation. Instead of an amorphous racing crowd, the author finds and discusses a complete subculture with its own distinctive customs, rituals, language and etiquette.
