Kathleen Florence writes poetry for the stage. She puts down words to perform them up, monologue sing speak, move story sound around river flow. Born on the border of American beats and Canadian concretes, the language wordplay stirred from this bird has some sibling associations with her work as a visual artist, writer of stage and screenplays and grrrl grunge rocker songs. Kathleen has performed poems in spaces high and low including her first feature in 2021 hosted by great weather for MEDIA, NYC, on stage at Le Poisson Rouge for the launch of Three Rooms Press Maintenant: A Journal of Contemporary DADA, NYC and opening for Canadian legend bill bissett at Versefest, Ottawa, Tarragon Theatre, Toronto, Players Club, NYC and improvising with the master of concrete on his 80th birthday at the Poet’s House, NYC.
