 Kate w. her mother, Christmas 1954 |
Kate Bernadette Benedict’s collection Here from Away is published by CustomWords. Her work has been appearing in literary magazines since
1980. Her credits include print journals such as Slant,
Rhino, ELF, Thema and The American Voice, and online journals
such as The Cortland Review, The Barefoot Muse, BigCityLit, kaleidowhirl, The Centrifugal Eye and Perihelion. The poems in Early Lessons are based on Kate’s experiences growing up in The Bronx, first in Throggs Neck and then in a neighborhood commonly called Castle Hill though its proper name is Unionport. Since the late 1970’s, she has lived with her husband John Leahy in a “cozy” apartment on New York City’s upper west side; they surround themselves with totemic objects and thrift-store treasures. She has worked in book publishing and finance and edits the online journal Umbrella: A Journal of Poetry and Kindred Prose. |
