Toward a Unified Theory of Self: Poems (PDF)

"How many of my appetites were his? / How long before I betrayed / my best intentions?" - "Betrayal"

A kaleidoscopic migraine compels the speaker of these accessible, crafted poems to explore her kaleidoscopic parts: the mundane, domestic, disloyal, gritty, romantic, genetic, self-made, and vulnerable. Whether she finds that elusive "unified theory of self" remains up to the reader.

"Kat's poems thrum with kinetic energy....Through awkward and sometimes painful events, she shows us survival skills needed to rethink personal dreams using language that exposes hard-baked truths....She is a powerful advocate for the individual in us all."

- Sam Barbee, author of Apertures of Voluptuous Force
