 Kathrine Varnes was born near Köln, Germany, on the day after John F. Kennedy was shot.
She has a set of the usual three degrees in English and Creative Writing, with recent poems in Valparaiso Poetry Review, Black Warrior Review, Measure, Prairie Schooner and Black Clock. Co-editor with Annie Finch of An Exaltation of Forms (2002), and author of a book of poems, The Paragon (2005), Varnes coordinates collaborative sonnet crowns from Lexington, Kentucky.
Her play, Listen, is tentatively scheduled for production this or next summer.
What Others Say
“A remarkably accomplished first book of poems, The Paragon speaks with such full-throated delight in language that its vivid and wry and sometimes scathing psychological portraits are freed from the bonds of the ‘merely personal’ and released, instead, into the novelistic realm of human experience. In the rich prosodic interior of these poems, the heart’s brisk dramas are played out with a Chekhovian intelligence and flare.”
