Synopsis

Kate Foley’s Saved to Cloud is alive with questioning. ‘What’s it all for?’ she reports her father asking, and examines, in poems that are, at the same time, both simple and complex, what we can, and can’t ever, know. From stone age to Apocalypse, language as messages we’re not equipped to hear to love being the only language we need to learn, from childhood reminiscences to the puzzlement of old age, from just being alive to technology, politics, war and climate change – nothing escapes her sharp, wise eye and mind. Foley’s poetry, as always, is deeply thoughtful and, to steal words of her own, far ‘more than words’.
