Before pink light erases waning blue-gray of night,
before heartbeat responds to daylight’s momentum, before occupants of my world request pieces of my life, before my pen is run dry with lists—groceries to buy, errands to run, before the internet invades my brain’s labyrinth, there is pause, breath, holy space. Breathless, I luxuriate in quiet, suspended between grogginess of sleep and new day birth. A slice of time when the nourishing song of ancestors cradles me “in-between” before life’s cacophony drowns out their voices. Vertical Divider

A native of San Francisco, Kathryn Santana Goldman’s interest in poetry began when she was working in ICU as a registered nurse. She used this practice to process the variety of stressful scenarios experienced. Over the years, she has continued to experiment with different types of writing such as short stories and plays. As an avid traveler, Kathryn has become skilled at capturing photographs about the diversity she encounters. Three years ago, she began to combine her love of photography with her writing by using the images she captures as seeds for her poems. She continues to explore new ways to use these two art forms to share her experience with family and friends.
