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’.

Kate Foley is a widely published, prize-winning poet who has read in many UK and European locations. She was president of the Suffolk Poetry Society until 2022. Her first collection, Soft Engineering was short-listed for best first collection at Aldeburgh. Her working life has ranged from delivering babies to conserving delicate archaeological material, and she also became Head of English Heritage’s scientific and technical research laboratories. Although she has always written poetry it wasn’t until Kate gave up the day job that she began to publish more widely. She now lives with her wife, between Amsterdam and Suffolk, where she performs, writes, edits, leads workshops and whenever possible works with artists in other disciplines.
