BIO

Ms. Blanchette has been writing poetry for over 20 years. Her first book titled, "Layers of Moments,” was published in 2006 and contains poetry as well as black and white photographs of Midwestern scenery. Her poetry can best be described as spiritual, intellectual and daring. Her photography is multi-dimensional - soft and gentle, yet hard and coarse. She describes a black and white photo as "timeless."

Ms. Blanchette is also the creator of The Fellow Bee Society (est. May 2007). As an author, Kimberly was a presenter at the 2006 Wisconsin Writers Conference at University Baraboo/Sauk County, the 2006 Fine Arts Festival in Milton, and the 2007 Alphabet Soup conference in Minneapolis, MN. She has performed her charismatic poetry at Books & Brew in Milton; Hedberg Public Library (also televised-April 2007), Book World and the Senior Center in Janesville, University of Wisconsin- Whitewater and The SweetSpot in Whitewater, A Room of One's Own, Avol's Bookstore, Mother Fool's, and Café ZuZu in Madison; the Village Booksmith in Baraboo, and other private parties.

Along with poetry readings/performances and public speaking events, Ms. Blanchette frequently holds many exciting workshops offered to the public as well as for universities, political organizations, woman's organizations, LGBT organizations, and other places of social and educational interest.

    POEM

LAYERS OF MOMENTS

Sometimes It Is Easy to Forget
That We Are Flesh-
For
Bone And Muscle
Melt Away-
Blood Becomes Mist
And
Thought Becomes Dreamscapes of Many-
But
The Spirit Never Changes-
In Such Moments
I Am
Untouched
Unclothed-
I Become A New Creature
Singing With The Wind-
Giving Thanks In The Language Of Sound-
To The One Whose Every Name
Translates
As Joy
