An intimate conversation and poetry reading recorded with Cate at her home in rural Victoria. Cate Kennedy is a popular writer of fiction, memoir and short stories in addition to poetry. Her highly acclaimed novel The World Beneath won the People’s Choice Award in the 2010 NSW Premier’s Literary Awardsm and her third poetry collection The Taste of River Water: New and Selected Poems won the 2011 Victorian Premier’s Literary Award for poetry. Some of Cate’s poems are short stories in themselves, beautifully encapsulating miniature narratives, the observation of small detail enlivening the poems. Cate’s style is warm and accessible, and her humanity consistently shines through.
