Katherine Horrex and the Growlery

‘I do believe that we’re all travellers of a fashion. For the poetic process I personally need a sense of freedom in order to write, and I like to feel free.’



These are some Rippling Pages Pilot episodes published in Summer 2020

Katherine Horrex talks about her debut collection of poetry, GROWLERY (Carcanet). 

Rippling Points:

• How 'Growlery', a term from another era, can come to represent the space you write in.


• The challenges of writing or not writing about big contemporary topics like Brexit.
