Welcome. I am grateful for your attention to my words.
My name is Kari A. 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 and Diablo Valley College, where I work-shopped with countless brilliant and kind writers, including a previous U.S. poet laureate.
I currently 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. When I am not writing, I play my guitar to my unreasonably large Highlander cat, Bear.
