I am reading with Judith Skillman tonight at Hugo House!


Hello dear writer-readers,

Tonight I have the honor of reading alongside the award-winning poet Judith Skillman at the release of her new book Oppression.

" In these poems, Skillman confronts oppression in its many forms—public and intimate, inherited and lived—through mythic reframing, family history, and vivid sensory attention." (From the description)

I'll be joined by poets David Horowitz, founder of Rose Alley Press, Michael Spence, winner of the New Criterion Poetry Prize, and Pushcart nominee Mary Ellen Talley.

I'll have copies of my new release, the Twentieth Anniversary Edition of Considering Flight available for sale. (Official release party is July 16 in Everett, so stay tuned.)

Judith invites you to "bring your poems or prose exploring themes of tyranny, despotism, and exploitation to share."

Thursday, July 2, 7-9 PM

Hugo House Theater Lobby

1634 11th Ave, Seattle, WA 98122

I'd love to see you there!

Love,

Katherine

Did I mention I was hacked? Yup. Last month.

I think the last one was, legit, from Meta, because my account has,...

Hi all, I did two ER visits with Mom in the last couple of days—one at 2:00 in the afternoon and the next at 2:00 in the morning. (She had nosebleeds that wouldn't stop.) Though it was frightening for her, she's okay now—back in her assisted living apartment, recovering and getting good care. I'm writing this to you while attempting to be coherent. A day retreat is sounding pretty good right now. The cabana where I live sits right on a small lake, and it's one of my favorite places in the...
