Untitled Composition

Like the word, paint always became something more when she moved it. 

Her stroke, a spell she did not understand beforehand, spoke. 
​
Not until she let herself fall to the centre could she see the story she had made rise up around her.

Kathryn Douglas is the director of a university writing program, has been teaching undergraduate writing and graduate writing pedagogy for many years, and has an MFA in creative writing with a focus on poetry from Fairleigh Dickinson University.  Her current academic research focuses on using ekphrastic poetry to help freshmen see their creative potential as writers, and most of her writing has been academic, so she's working to find more time for poetry.  She loves to read, write, sing, garden, hike, and visit art, and, in particular, photography museums.
