Katherine Stansfield Biography

Hello!

Welcome to the beginning of our "Living Spaces" series. This series will follow a poet through the process of creating a poem. You'll get insight into the poet's thoughts from the first inkling of a poem to its potential creation. It's a study on the importance of the creative process over the necessity to create verse. This is a rare glimpse into the creative mind and we're excited to launch this forum.

Below is the biography for our first poet, Dr. Katherine Stansfield. Later, you'll get her first excerpt.

Enjoy!
