Poets in Conversation at the Norwalk Library
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2018, 7 – 8:15 PM:
Katherine Flannery Dering is a poet, novelist and memoirist who holds an MFA from Manhattanville College. In 2014 she published Shot in the Head, a Sister’s Memoir a Brother’s Struggle (Bridgeross). A mixed genre book of poetry, prose, photos and emails, it deals with caring for her schizophrenic brother, and she is an advocate for better care for the mentally ill. Her poetry chapbook, Aftermath, to be published in 2018, began during a period of introspection following the death of her nephew from a drug overdose. Her poetry and essays have also been featured in numerous small journals, newspapers and anthologies. Ms Dering lives in Bedford, NY and currently serves on the executive committee of the Katonah Poetry Series. She blogs at www.deringkatherine.wordpress.com.
Inkwell Magazine
Poetry on pages 1 and 2 of Issue 35.
Two poems of mine appearing Inkwell Journal, which can be purchased on line through Itasca books. The poems are titled "Herons" and "Marcescence." Coincidentally, "Marcescence" mentions the Great Flu of 1918 -- a pandemic we are hearing a lot about lately.
Having my work accepted by Inkwell is an honor. And I am especially pleased to be part of this issue because it includes a special section on "Sanctuary," which I think we all can find interesting.

Poetry in River River
Forty-three/Kittens
http://riverriver.org/issues/ten/dering-kittens/. published in the On-line Journal, RiverRiver.
This poem is an "almost Roundel" as I play with the form a bit.
The box is too heavy for me.
Its damp cardboard struggles
to hold the five shifting kittens.....
