Kate Carey (she/her) is a fat queer polyamorous slut who sometimes spends whole days in bed crying because feelings are hard. Writing has been an anchor, a way to explore things she wasn't supposed to talk about.
Through deeply personal poetry and creative nonfiction, she touches on issues relating to trauma, fat liberation, mental illness and sexuality. She doesn't submit often but you can find Kate's words on her personal blog or in publications such as Eclipse Lit and En*gendered
A participant in A Room of Her Own's 2015 Women's Writing Retreat in New Mexico, and Hobart Bookvillage's annual Festival of Women Writers since 2016, she is strengthened by the connections forged there that continue to thrive today.
Her proudest live accomplishments include producing hosting and performing at her own Slutty Poems Night, a sex-positive poetry event at a local dive bar in Philly where she lives, being the March 2022 feature poet for Moonstone Art's Poetry nights at Fergie's Pub and frequent poet for Chris Davis' You Can't Fail series.
