Kate Marsh, Poet
Kate Marsh is a retired author of mega-yacht technical manuals who traded the sea for the high desert. For five years she volunteered as coordinator for the Harney County Writer-in-Residence Program for students in Oregon’s outback, and then became the leader for a new 4-H Club, the Western Pleasure Writers, which includes students from the fourth through twelfth grades.
Kate writes to capture her musings, to explore the workings of her curiosity, and to create a felt experience of the piece as it is heard or read.
Grandmother, poet and photographer, she rides a four-wheeler in the desert and tours on a Harley Davidson with her husband. Her poems have received three Kay Snow Awards from Oregon’s Willamette Writers, and awards from the Oregon Poetry Association and Writers of the Purple Sage. Kate won the 2011 “Senior Poet Laureate for Oregon” competition by the Amy Kitchener Foundation and her selected poem was published in their 2011 on-line anthology. Several poems have been published in The Avocet, A Journal of Nature Poems, and also included in the weekly on-line Avocet.
She is a member of Oregon’s Harney Basin Writers, the Harney County Arts & Crafts Association, and president of the Harney County Cultural Coalition.
In July, 2015, Kate and fellow artists opened Gallery 15, an artists co-operative featuring fine art and fine crafts of Eastern Oregon. Go to www.artinburns.com and take a look.
