i.
aquariums fail
to house the ocean’s threatened
lamenting, seas still
ii.
littered sandy floors
host aquatic genocide
ghosts’ bones settling

By day, Kathryn helps students investigate words’ power; by night, she resurrects goddesses and ghosts, spinning new speculative tales. Sometimes, she even writes the truth. Enjoy poetry in Shadow Atlas, A Flight of Dragons, Last Girls Club, Willow Tree Swing, Paris Morning and fiction in Tree and Stone, Seaside Gothic, Diet Milk, Blink Ink, and Fish Gather to Listen. Her rescue mutts, Savvie and Roxy Razzamatazz, hear all the stories first. When she’s not writing, she’s rewilding her suburban backyard. Twitter: @Katecanwrite or katecanwrite.com
