That's What She Said!

From Kate:I was born in Denver and raised in a poor working family in Northeastern Colorado where I quit school my sophomore year. Later, after I had married and had a daughter, I earned a GED and then enrolled in the local community college. Six years later, I graduated from Morehead State University in Kentucky with a B.A. in English. By that time I had married a second time and while attending MSU, lived with my daughter and second husband in a rustic log cabin we built ourselves in Menifee County, Kentucky. In 1982, I came to Ohio University to begin a master's degree, thinking I would be here 2-3 years, but a second divorce necessitated getting a job, and I was hired as the university editor for OU's publications office. I also worked toward my Ph.D., and my daughter and I graduated the same weekend in June 1992--she with her high school diploma and I with my doctorate in American Literature with an emphasis in creative writing/poetry. Since then I've worked as a writer/editor in the President's Office at OU (way back under Robert Glidden): at St. Mary's College in South Bend IN; at the Ohio Historical Society, now known as the Ohio History Center, in Columbus; at the Ohioana Library, a small specialty library in Columbus that collects books by Ohio authors and about Ohio and Ohioans where I served as a book review editor for the Ohioana Quarterly; and at the College of Health Sciences and Professions back here in Athens. In 2007, I started a freelance writing/editing business called Textual Healing, which is still going strong, and in my free time, I still write book reviews for the Ohioana Quarterly and transcribe materials for the Library of Congress's Crowdsourcing program.My work has appeared in the Great River Review, Kenyon Review Online, Valparaiso Review, New Ohio Review, West Branch, and Cumberland River Review, among others. I have published two chapbooks: The Lazarus Method, under the name of Kate Hancock, by Kent State University Press as part of the Wick Poetry Chapbook Series, and Walking Off the Map, by Seven Kitchens Press. I earned my Ph.D. in American literature with an emphasis in creative writing/poetry from Ohio University, and I currently live in Athens, Ohio with my partner, Robert DeMott, and two English setters: Maddie & Katie.Support the show (http://www.thatswhatshesaid970wath.com)
