The Other Side of the Moon: Poetry

By Katie O'Malley

In the words of Florida's Poet Laureate Peter Meinke, "Katie O'Malley shows us a life packed with science, art, and adventure, as well as young love and betrayal. Her eyes take in everything she experiences, recognizing that our hopes are often too high, ..." Katie O'Malley has made herself known throughout the poetry world, having been published in numerous journals and anthologies. Born in Moscow and awesomely adorned with scenes of travel across continents, Katie O'Malley's senses have assumed more diverse perspectives than many of us can claim over very long lifetimes. But a part of her is still not removed from the girl she was, nor can anyone prevent the woman she has and will become. Nor, despite a stellar scholastic career that has already displayed numerous abilities in the sciences and humanities, poetry becomes for her a lodestone for all she makes of life, of her life, and through her poems, of our own. Tradition is in her progress, just as subtle innovation binds to her future. She jumps between forms and genres, the fine lyric as well as the narrative (a short story also appeared in Evansville Review last year), and she is not limited by experience. While she continues to grow in craft, scope, and voice, we can dispense with the caveat that she has "much to learn." From whom? Well, that is for her to decide. It is more exciting to lean upon what she knows now, and what she shows in these pages.
