Fox Populi takes poetry on a hilarious, Creature Comforts-style journey through the crackly airwaves of contemporary culture. Radio-mic in hand, Kate Fox listens in on comedians and psychiatrists, Great North runners and nutters, and the staff of a call centre in modern-day Tynemouth. Herself a familiar voice on BBC TV and radio, this first full-length collection confirms Kate Fox’s position as one of the UK’s most popular poet-comedians.

“Funny, quirky and a wonderful writer.” 
Sarah Millican, stand-up comedian

"Self deprecating and wry throughout, this is poetry that is both accessible, true and wise."
The Crack

“Sylvia Plath channelling Victoria Wood”
Matt Harvey
