Bio for 2021
Karen George, a native Kentuckian, has published five chapbooks and two poetry collections from Dos Madres Press: Swim Your Way Back (2014), and A Map and One Year (2018). She enjoys photography and visiting art museums, cemeteries, gardens, the woods, mountains, and historic river towns—particularly any place near a body of water.
Reason for signing up:
Because I’ve been writing a poem-a-day in June with other LEXPOMO poets since the beginning. I've always found it inspiring. Having a daily deadline is a good thing for me. I work well under pressure.
