The Kardomah Kid is a selection of poetry which ranges over varied subjects as a young poet sits in the Kardomah Cafe in Swansea writing poetry for her alter-ego The Kardomah Kid. These conversations range over romance or rather lack of it, her lack of confidence over poetry, the romanticism and the tragedy of death, her luck at living opposite the Brecon Beacons. A modern telling of poetry, exploring the mind of a nearly twenty year old as she thinks to herself, with her old friends as well.
