326 - “Burnout” by Kate Meyer-Currey

Kate Meyer-Currey moved to Devon, UK in 1973. A varied career in frontline settings has fuelled her interest in gritty urbanism, contrasted with a rural upbringing, often with a slipstream twist. Since September 2020 she has had over a hundred poems published in print and online journals, both in the UK and internationally. Her first chapbook ‘County Lines’ (Dancing Girl Press) comes out this Autumn. Her second Cuckoo’s Nest’ (Contraband Books) is due in February 2022.

A statement from Kate:

"[This piece was created] During a phase when I was physically fatigued and emotionally drained and struggling to connect to the creative energy I source for writing. I have ADHD and my energy fluctuates during times when I’m tired. ‘Burnout’ describes how I take myself through this process and regain the stability I draw upon to write."
