Notes

  • Epigraph: Dined on black pudding - From an entry in Dorothy Wordsworth’s diary, dated
    13 January 1829

    Author's note: The excerpt from Dorothy Wordsworth’s diary was quoted in Laura Shapiro’s book, What She Ate: six remarkable women and the food that tells their stories (Viking, 2017). I owe a debt to Shapiro’s chapter on Dorothy Wordsworth for this poem.

Tony Hughes-d’Aeth had just launched the Magazine, and we were in the middle of celebrating Catherine Noske’s editorship. I was standing alongside Josephine Taylor and Melissa Kruger. And I knew I had to find some small words to pay just tribute to Kate’s work. None were coming. The notes I’d made didn’t feel right.' (Editorial introduction) 2023 pg. 12-13
