Kathleen O’Toole is the author of This Far: Poems

“The poetic and personal journey that has led me to the threshold of This Far braids a long professional life in community organizing with poetry − both writing and teaching. My creativity was nurtured in a family of actors in Wilmington Delaware. After earning a BA in French at Catholic University in DC, and a year of graduate Divinity studies, I poured most of my energy into my public vocation for decades. But poetry and the pull of more contemplative pursuits remained strong. In 1991, I received an MA in creative writing from Johns Hopkins University, and subsequently taught writing at Hopkins and at the Maryland Institute College of Art.”
