About Me
- Kathryn Stripling Byer
- Cullowhee, North Carolina, United States
- I've lived in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina since 1968, though I'm a native of SW Georgia. My paternal grandmother was born in the Blue Ridge, and I grew up wanting to live here. Where I am. I've published five collections of poetry, the most recent 4 being with LSU Press, and have published poetry in magazines ranging from The Atlantic Monthly to Appalachian Heritage. But I also hike, bang pots and pans around in my kitchen, and love several dogs who leave fur all over my carpets. I write poetry because it's my way of singing back to the world both within and without.

Yes I am a teacher, a fourth grade teacher actually!
I look forward to checking out the recommended poem blog and to your daily musings on poetry and instructional approaches.
To Mrs. C's 1st and 2nd. classes, I will post the promised letter this weekend. I'm away doing a poetry festival and thought I'd have time yesterday, but I didn't! So, the post will be up on Monday!
Talk with you then.

Liz, could you tell me which prompt you used for your 5th graders? It really worked.
