Kate Camp and her 1986 diary

From Nine To Noon, 11:25 am today

The year was 1986 - a time defined by Ghostbusters on VHS, the height of Jazzercise tights, and the only year that acclaimed Wellington poet and author Kate Camp kept a diary.

Decades later, Camp has revisited those pages written by her 14-year-old self to write Leather and Chains: My 1986 Diary,' published by Te Herenga Waka University Press. Kate is speaking at HamLit, as part of the Hamilton Arts Festival on February 22, alongside Catherine Chidgey and Elisabeth Easter.
