  • Kate
  • Fox's
  • new
  • collection
  • The
  • Oscillations
  • explores
  • distance
  • and
  • isolation
  • in
  • the
  • age
  • of
  • the
  • pandemic,
  • refracted
  • through
  • the
  • lenses
  • of
  • neurodiversity
  • and
  • trauma
  • in
  • poems
  • that
  • are
  • bold,
  • often
  • frank
  • and
  • funny.
  • Dazzling
  • and
  • open-hearted
  • poems
  • of
  • self-discovery.Responding
  • to
  • a
  • world
  • that
  • has
  • been
  • broken
  • by
  • the
  • pandemic
  • into
  • a
  • 'before'
  • and
  • 'after'.
  • A
  • strong
  • voice
  • sings
  • of
  • what
  • it
  • means
  • to
  • be
  • many
  • things
  • at
  • once
  • -
  • autistic,
  • creative,
  • northern,
  • a
  • woman.
  • Fox
  • measures
  • not
  • only
  • distances,
  • social
  • or
  • otherwise,
  • but
  • how
  • we
  • breach
  • them,
  • and
  • what
  • the
  • view
  • might
  • be
  • from
  • beyond
  • them.'It's
  • both
  • comforting
  • and
  • challenging
  • to
  • have
  • Kate
  • Fox
  • as
  • our
  • guide
  • through
  • these
  • turbulent
  • and
  • fractured
  • times;
  • comforting
  • because
  • Kate's
  • language
  • is
  • always
  • inclusive
  • and
  • accessible
  • and
  • challenging
  • because
  • the
  • ideas
  • her
  • superb
  • poems
  • brim
  • with
  • ask
  • us
  • to
  • look
  • deeply
  • inside
  • ourselves."
