Rebecca Perry and K Patrick: May We Feed the King

Poet Rebecca Perry on her debut novel May We Feed the King, with fellow poet-novelist K Patrick

In Rebecca Perry’s May We Feed the King (Granta) the narrative switches between two increasingly intermingling timelines, medieval and contemporary, as a modern curator becomes absorbed in the story of a half-forgotten monarch struggling to maintain his rule. 

Perry is the author of two acclaimed poetry collections Beauty/Beauty and Stone Fruit and was in the bookshop in conversation with fellow poet K Patrick about her debut novel.
