BIOGRAPHY

Name: KT Lowe

Birthdate: Last day of the Year of the Fire Dragon 1977, 12:44 AM

What I Want to Be When I Grow Up: Never, ever grow up.  That means you have to stop learning.  Never stop learning.

Favorite drink: Voss Sparkling Water, although I'm developing a fondness for Italian soda and soy almond steamers.

Addictions: Rock music, chocolate, cats, walking everywhere, reading everything in sight

Ambition: To become rich and famous and yet get to be myself throughout the entire process.  Either that, or find an occupation that requires no formalities whatsoever.

Oddities: I wear glasses and like it.  I've never held a driver's license and at this rate never will.  I dream in color with full-action scenes, usually in places I've never been.  Paradise = San Francisco.  My writer's callus is on the wrong finger (right ring instead of right middle). Anything else you want to know, drop me an e-mail.

Thanks to: Dad, Mom, Maggie and Chuck, Chris and Jen, Uncle Mark, the Reynolds clan, the Hines family, Bill, Andrew, Bees, Amy, Crystal, Michelle, Pinka, the members of the Xhedos Tabernacle Choir, Worrier King, Benny and just about every damn musician that released a record from 1952-1979.

Love to the departed: Dad, Warren, Uncle Herb, Frank and Baby

Saigo-chan, daisuki desu.  Onegaishimasu.

Thanks always to Snookboy.

Official word:

KT Lowe is a Detroit-based author currently splitting her time between Ann Arbor and St. Clair Shores, Michigan.  Her work encompasses crass observations, wry humor and sentiments both tender and wistful.  She enjoys incorporating wordplay into her work, such as internal rhyme, and is very comfortable with writing Asian-styled poetry such as shijo, ghazal and tanka. Over the past four years she has built a presence at open mic performances, including an appearance at the Detroit Festival of the Arts.  To kick off her EP release in August 2006, she appeared twice with ML Liebler, internationally acclaimed poet and poet laureate of St. Clair Shores.  In addition, she has performed on WCBN radio in Ann Arbor.  Her first book, Alarm Clock Buzz Radio, will be published in Summer 2007 by ATRI Press San Francisco.

She is actively pursuing a degree in Asian Studies at the University of Michigan, and was recently awarded the Center for the Education of Women Lucile B. Conger Scholarship.  She is a member of Metro Detroit Writers and the Human Rights Campaign, and performs volunteer work for the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization.  At this time, she is working with Jef Reynolds (ML Liebler and MaPoBa, David Nefesh and the Astronauts of Love, Nef -n-Jef, Jo Serrapere) to bring her unique poetry to the MP3 players of the world.
