Katherine Jackson is a poet and also a painter. Her poetry has been published in Partisan Review, Southwest Review, Verse, Cumberland Poetry Review, and other journals. Her prose includes a memoir ("In the Subtropics with Amy Clampitt"), and most recently, an essay on painting that appeared in conjunction with a show at the Bromfield Gallery in Boston. She has read her poems in art galleries and prisons and libraries, as well as at the Atlantic Center for the Arts, where she had a poetry residency. She also presented her work at the Regattabar, Boston’s major jazz venue, and at the Cambridge Multicultural Arts Center, in collaboration with jazz musicians and visual artists. Although in recent years, she has been primarily engaged with painting, she continues to write and translate poetry. Her most recent paintings draw on her translations of Montale’s Mottetti and her long involvement with modern Italian poetry. She is one of six whose works were represented in Continuing Tradition: Doubly Gifted Artists at the The Atelier A/E gallery in New York City, 1999.
