Description
There is a deceptively simple depth and truth to Kate Young’s poetry that speaks of an old soul, but one that can almost divine the streams of common feeling that are cascading below the surface.
A Spark in the Darkness is exactly that, a burgeoning brightness of life in a time of horror, sorrow and pain.
Simply put, Kate Young is an observer as much as she is a witness and her debut collection is utterly compelling.
