Catherine Knox

Catherine Knox is locked down in Bedford, growing, photographing and drawing vegetables. Once a week, she passes a 15-litre bucket of veg soup over the gate for the children’s feeding scheme. In addition to working for Fair Lady on and off for 15 years, she has been involved in book publishing as a reader, editor, translator and writer. As a team member of the Schreiner Karoo Writers Festival in Cradock, she took the photographs for, designed and published Olive Schreiner and the poetics of plants by Dorothy Driver (2019) for Amazwi South African Museum of Literature (the festival’s main sponsor). Her undergraduate majors were English and fine art. She studied Shakespeare for a master’s degree in English literature (Rhodes). She likes online publishing because the pictures look so good.
