Professor Kate Reavey
How does our home, the Olympic Peninsula, influence writers and their writing? Through her poetry and readings, writer and professor, Kate Reavey will explore how the wildlife, forests, and waters of the Olympic Peninsula provide an essential backdrop to her work, life, and family. This is a special opportunity for OPAS members to go beyond their field guides and birding apps to reflect on how the spirituality of our beautiful area helps drive what we see and do.
Kate Reavey has taught composition, literature, and creative writing on the Olympic Peninsula for more than thirty years. In addition to publishing three books of poetry, her works have also appeared in several literary journals and collections. Her academic experiences range from African Studies to teaching creative writing in Florence, Italy. She holds a PhD in Humanities and Culture and currently serves as an English professor at Peninsula College.
