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 included students from the fourth through twelfth grades.
Grandmother, poet and photographer, Kate 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. She 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.
Kate's desire is to capture her musings, to explore the workings of her curiosity, and to create a felt experience of a poem or a photograph as it is heard or read or viewed.
She is a board member of the Writers Guild of Harney County, the Arts & Crafts Association, the Harney County Cultural Coalition, and president of the Community Support Foundation of Harney County.
In 2018, Kate and fellow artists opened Frontier Art Center, with a pottery studio, weaving center, painting workshops, and special events. Go to www.frontierartcenter.com and take a look.
