Böcker av Katherine Blake

The feeling of opening your windows for the first time in months, the smell of wet earth, evenings that feel like new beginnings. Hopecore is a collection of poems that feel like the first days of spring.

Poetry on life, love, & rebuilding when the first two don't go according to plan.

With her sights set on becoming a make-up artist to the stars, Loretta wangles her way from Lancashire to the bright lights of Golden Age Hollywood.Only it turns out that Sunset Boulevard is less about dashing fellas and chilled martinis - more sticky floors and misbehaving men.
