In this episode I chat with poet, writer and performer Kate Fox about poetry, creative risk taking, neurodiversity and writing to a brief. We talk about Kate's early voracious reading habit - and why it's odd that an intense love of words can be diagnosed as 'hyperlexia', almost as a disorder - her poetry, and her adult diagnosis of autism. We also talk about her stage shows, finding the mode of performance and style that feels authentic - and creatively challenging - to her, and her book about northern women in history, WHERE THERE'S MUCK, THERE'S BRAS.
