Kathryn describes herself as ‘the working-class kid of a part-Swedish immigrant, part-Australian grown, all-socialist family – born and brought up on lands never ceded by their traditional custodians, the Kaurna people. A PhD in Social Science, I have no formal qualifications in writing. My practice developed from a passion for reading, art and music and has been encouraged by teachers, mentors, colleagues and friends along the way. This approach is probably why I don’t call any genre a stranger: I create works of digital media/poetry, non-fiction, fiction and scholarly research, which have been published/presented/translated/anthologised in Australia, Bangladesh, Canada, Finland, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Italy, Nepal, New Zealand, the Philippines, Qatar, Singapore, UK, the USA, and likely more places I don’t know about. My writing concerns the themes of urban spaces; identity; gender; travel; transience; post-colonialism; time, and memory. Glancing over my selected list of publications will give you an overview of my various styles and range.’
