Hi. My name is Kate Garrett, and I am here to tell you stories.
I write poetry, fiction, and nonfiction - often simultaneously.
Find out more about me and my writing via the menu above, and feel free to use the contact form to say hello or ask any questions.
​Thanks for stopping by!
​My full-length collection, Sunward/Moonwise was published by Impspired in June 2021.

You can order it from me directly using my Big Cartel bookshop link here, or from Impspired.

Sunward/Moonwise is a weekend at a festival; an evening in a pub beer garden; a journey up and down and across the UK by train; a peek into the afterlife, the otherworld; a walk with flowers and creatures telling us their secrets; conversations with rivers; a melody you remember at the strangest times. These are poems of discovery and connection, looking for something new in every ending.

"The range of form in this collection is fresh and inventive. Garrett's language is gorgeous and musical. One can only stand back and admire certain lines, which retain clarity while doing the poet's work of perfectly expressing the unsayable." - Angela Topping
She was young once
 
and the space from then to now
filled like a cauldron with violet,
 
mugwort, comfrey, moss; filled
with learning how to use them
 
and how to become infinite:
 
her face now lined and smooth, her hair
white and dark, her shape itself unfixed--
 
an otter, a hawk, a greyhound, a hen:
whatever she wants to be, and when.

- from 'Petals, feathers, fur, and bone' by Kate Garrett
