Kate Camp‘s newly published memoir You Probably Think This Song Is About You borrows its title from Carly Simon’s classic 1972 song ‘You’re so Vain’. So it's no surprise the Wellington poet is joining us to play some musical favourites.

Camp’s memoir speaks to difficult experiences in a frank, honest and funny way. It travels from the nostalgia of a Wellington childhood in the 70s and 80s, through the hazy 90s, and into “the sobering reality of a world in which Hillary Clinton did not win”.

Camp is the author of seven collections of poems, her last being How To Be Happy Though Human: New and Selected Poems
