Kathy Dahms Rogers was born in Iowa but now lives in Long Beach, California. She loves to travel with her husband, Jack (they are, in fact, on a road trip as you read this!) and calls herself an "accidental poet" because she began writing poetry only after she ended up in Donna Hilbert’s poetry workshop instead of the memoir/travel writing workshop she signed up for! More than a decade later, Kathy continues to attend Donna’s workshops, and her poems have been published in Pearl, a literary publication, and Voices, an anthology.
