Hi. If you're here looking for a short bio for a publication or reading series, please use this:

Kate Greenstreet's second book, The Last 4 Things, will be available from Ahsahta Press in September. Her first, case sensitive, was published by Ahsahta in 2006. She is also the author of three chapbooks, most recently This is why I hurt you (Lame House Press, 2008). Her new work is in current or forthcoming issues of journals including jubilat, Fence, VOLT, Court Green, and the Denver Quarterly.

If you're just curious, here's a longer version:

Kate Greenstreet is the author of case sensitive (Ahsahta Press, 2006) and three chapbooks, Learning the Language (Etherdome Press, 2005), Rushes (above/ground press, 2007), and This is why I hurt you (Lame House Press, 2008). Statues, a Big Game Books tinyside, was available briefly in 2006. In Paradise there is no art, a boxed set of 12 cards (fragments of writing & art), was published by Flash+Card in 2007.

Greenstreet's poems have appeared most recently in Fence, jubilat, Court Green, Harp & Altar, MAKE, Hotel Amerika, Saltgrass, Columbia Poetry Review, and in a chaplet published by WinteRed Press. New work is forthcoming in the Denver Quarterly, PingPong, The Laurel Review, VOLT, and Cannibal. Her second book, The Last 4 Things, will be out from Ahsahta in September.

Her poems can also be found in the anthologies Diagram.2 (New Michigan Press, 2006), The Bedside Guide to No Tell Motel - Second Floor (No Tell Books, 2007), and Letters to the World (Red Hen Press, 2008). She received a Fellowship from the NJ State Council on the Arts in 2003.

Links to some of her poems online are here.

It feels strange to speak of myself in the third person, but I'm practicing. Greenstreet is also a painter and graphic designer. Her blog (now resting) includes interviews with quite a few first-book poets and some other people too. She is married and lives in New Jersey, no kids, no pool, no pets.

If your interest extends even further, she is interviewed here, here, here and (finally!) here. Thanks for coming by.
