Kristin
Fogdall, poet, Exeter
Kristin Fogdall was born in Seattle, Washington and received
her A.B. in Theatre and Writing at Mount Holyoke College and
her M.A. in Creative Writing from Boston University. Currently,
she is the Director of Alumni/ae Affairs and Development Communications
at Phillips Exeter Academy and has published poems since 1995
in The New Republic, Poetry, New England Review, Partisan
Review, and other journals. Her manuscript collection was
a finalist for the National Poetry Series in 2000, and she
is the recipient of an Emerging New England Artist Award from
the St. Botolph's Foundation in Boston.
"My
poems almost always begin in observation," describes
Fogdall. "Perhaps it is a landscape, an obscure word
or historical fact, but each poem eventually responds to some
experience and probes beneath the surface. More and more I
think I am trying to achieve a sort of mythic or spiritual
poetry than nevertheless can be relevant in this post-modern,
skeptical age. I am interested in rescuing and transforming
old symbols and stories."
