AKA @katerwriter, Kate Robinson began her literary career writing bad poetery at age ten. After (sorta) growing up and working as a grocery clerk, nursing assistant and home health aide, city bus driver, museum aide, a variety of office assistant positions, and K-12 substitute teacher, all while studying (BA 1999, MA 2010) and raising a family, more scribbling looked like a suitable diversion. Now she promises to always dance with paradox and absurdity while she whacks words in redwood glades and on beaches along the California coast.
