Kat Heatherington is a queer ecofeminist poet, sometime artist, pagan, and organic gardener. She has been living in Albuquerque since 1998, when she moved there to earn a Master's in English at UNM. She lives and gardens on a farm in the Rio Grande Valley. Kat's work primarily addresses the interstices of human relationships and the natural world, tackling themes of love and loss, complexity and joy with unflinching honesty. She has several self-published chapbooks, available from the author at desertyarrow@protonmail.com, and a new book forthcoming from Echobird Press.
