Karen is a poetry editor at The Worcester Review and author of Prayer Can Be Anything\, (Finishing Line Press) and This Late Afternoon (Dunn & Co.). Her poems have or will soon appear in Whale Road Review\, On the Seawall\, The MacGuffin\, SWWIM Fourth River\, Split Rock Review\, Mom Egg Review\, and Halfway Down the Stairs\, among others.
