Kate Dempsey
It was an enjoyable night when Kate Demspey came to town and a cheerful atmosphere filled the room. I particulary enjoyed her poem Mash:
I judged the mashed potato contest
giving marks for presentation, flavour, consistency
The winner, a dimpled woman of Amish appearance.
What's your secret? I asked before I woke.
It's about love, she said, all about love.
This poem appears in the Poetry Divas 1 pamphlet.

Kate read for about 40 minutes and kept us all entertained and listening. It was great to meet her and partake in some chat afterwards. You can see in the photos the light in the window behind the readers fading. I can't think of a better way to spend an evening.
