Cathy Ross has read at many local poetry venues around the Northwest. Two of her poems were choreographed and performed by Phrasings in Bellingham and her poetry has appeared in Windfall, Chrysanthemum, Licking River Review, and The Dan River Anthology. Her first chapbook, After Winter, was published in 2003 and her first book, If the Moon Came Out Only Once a Month, was published in 2012. Both playful and poignant, with themes of loss and rebirth, her poems reveal the unexpected layers found in an ordinary life. Cathy has a Masters degree from the University of Washington and lives in Seattle with her husband.
