Kate Gale – författare

Who was more alone than Medusa? Raped in Athena's temple, transformed into a monster, and banished into a cave, Medusa may be the ultimate example of victim blaming. In The Loneliest Girl, Kate Gale creates a powerful alternative narrative for Medusa and for all women who have carried guilt and shame--for being a woman, for not being enough, for being a victim. She offers a narrative in which women are the makers of the world--in which women find their way out from the cave of the Cisthene and into a world where they determine their own destiny.

"I urge you to read this book. Kate Gale has a dream of justice and a wry sense of how hard it is to obtain. She confronts the wrongs of sex, of gender, of husbands and lovers, and sees how easily we confuse our desires with what is right. Somehow, in this process dangerous for a poet, she enters the garden of language and returns whole, humming." —Benjamin Saltman

"This book claims as its territory the indefinite spaces separating us: the ground where we move together and apart, the long curve desire describes and follows. Connection seems tenable as a jet trail, 'a seam, holding together / the two halves of the sky.' Kate [Gale] Harper belongs in the company of Lorna Goodison, Margaret Atwood, Lucille Clifton—all poets who write, with force and directness, what a woman lives. I think the secret of Harper’s strength is this: from the middle of all loss, all bewilderment, her poems aspire to the condition of dancing.”—Angela Ball, Mississippi Review

The DevilÆs Punchbowl: A Cultural & Geographical Map of California Today is an anthology edited by Red Hen PressÆs Managing Editor, Kate Gale, and Los Angeles Times reporter and editor Veronique de Turenne. Essays were commissioned from writers living in California, who were asked to reflect on an aspect of the stateÆs geography, natural or man-made: Alcatraz Island and its prison; Manzanar and Mt. Whitney; Big Sur and Joshua Tree; Los AngelesÆ oil derricks and Mountain ViewÆs Google headquarters; the farms of the Central Valley and the redwoods of the Northern Coastland. Does Alcatraz, from its important role in Native American activist history to todayÆs defunct prison, retain meaning beyond a tourist attraction? How is the expanding border fence between Southern California and Mexico affecting, economically and psychologically, the individuals who live near it? CaliforniaÆs outsized cultural and economic impact on both our country and the rest of the world necessitate a continual taking stock, to prevent losing ourselves in the stateÆs constant transformations. The DevilÆs Punchbowl captures a pivotal time in our countryÆs history, as some of the stateÆs most recognized, complex, and accomplished writers describe their relationship with CaliforniaÆs ever-changing geographic, economic, and psychic landscape.

When senses voiced in writing merge, separate, and flow back together again, ink and paper suddenly transform. The blan, working alongside poverty in Haiti, the killing of things living yet unjustly categorized as trivial, the change in lives through photographs, and their stillness in passing. Color speaks, light touches, smell remembers, all through the innately human attempt to soften the unfamiliar, to know and experience otherness. Enter Volume 19 of The Los Angeles Review and witness the minutiaes and grandeurs, the discomforts and triumphs of life as the senses tell it.

Los Angeles may be best known as the hub of the film and television industry, but this collection of short fiction proves that beyond the beach and the glamour of Hollywood there is much more that makes the City of Angels special. Featuring an eclectic mix of fiction from a variety of talented literary minds—including TC Boyle, Ron Carlson, Judith Freeman, Percival Everett, and more—this anthology defies genre or easy categorization. Topics explored range from the deeply personal, such as a lesbian couple's loss of a child and the reaction of a young man to a natural disaster, to the larger-than-life, including a vivid tale of a robot-infested dystopian Long Beach. This allows the creativity and vivacity of the Los Angeles literary scene to be put on display, with a powerful sense of place as the core of this ambitious and insightful project.
