I am grateful for your attention to these words.
My name is Kari Flickinger. I spent my childhood wandering aimlessly through the mountains of Northern California. I obtained my degrees as a return student in my thirties from UC Berkeley, Diablo Valley College, and Sacramento City College where I had the opportunity to workshop with countless brilliant and kind writers.
Currently, I work as a freelance writer, proofreader, and researcher in the San Francisco Bay Area. My writing has been nominated for Best of the Net and the Rhysling Award. I am a reader for Palette Poetry and a regular contributor to Headline Poetry & Press. I am also a reader / sub-editor for Black Bough Poetry’s forthcoming Freedom / Rapture issue. When I am not writing, I play my guitar to my unreasonably large Highlander cat, Bear.
