Author Description

"Kate Evans takes us from the dreamlike moonscape of a failed marriage through the alienated ravings of a middle-aged woman pursuing sexual misadventure, and finally arriving in the sensual present of new love against the backdrop of foreign cities. Throughout the book, she retains tight control over form and language, winking at us with sly rhymes and surprising line breaks. Target comes to us as sweet and juicy as ripe fruit from the achingly honest, increasingly expansive voice of an adventurer who has awakened to herself." -Anne Jennings Paris, author of Killing George Washington "Kate Evans' new collection of poetry is a journey of home and away, the domestic and the exotic. The power of her language, her honesty, and her exacting images get at the heart of the ache and wonder of the human heart. Target celebrates life, love, and the challenges of living at the edge of self-discovery." -Persis Karim, author of Tremors
