Pat McCutcheon
Pat McCutcheon: From the fifth grade teacher who displayed her
first poem on the classroom bulletin board, to the CR teacher who
gave her permission to write, which her degrees and formal education
had not given her, writing for her has often been tangled up with
teaching. Jammed in
around part-time jobs, full-time teaching, grading papers, and
raising kids, she scrambled for time to write. Now
she lives in Arcata with her partner of almost twenty years, and
those three children they raised sometimes visit. Her
chapbook, Recovering Perfectionist, was
published in 1996. Some
of the journals in which her poems have recently appeared include Confluence,
Cumberland Poetry Review, Evansville Review, Nightsun, Owen Wister
Review, Pearl, Sanskrit, and The
MacGuffin.
