Kara Douglas

"I think there has always been a writer in me," Cate Wnek says, "but it was photography that took me on a nosedive into the pursuit of my creative curiosity." As the mother of two boys, Cate began photographing them playing on the floor as babies.

For this edition of "Poems from Home," I spent some time reading and writing poems with fourth and fifth graders at Harpswell Community School.

Welcome to the first edition of "Poems from Home," a quarterly feature of the Harpswell Anchor. Each season, "Poems from Home" will include the work of a local poet or two in conversation with writer Kara Douglas.
