Kait Quinn is a Texas-born, Minnesota-based poet, editor, and professional shower singer. She studied creative writing at St. Edward’s University in Austin, TX and continues her poetry education through courses and workshops such as Megan Falley’s “Poems That Don’t Suck” and Carrie Fountain’s “Leap & Practice.”
Her work has been published in After Happy Hour Review, Anti-Heroin Chic, Exposition Review, Reed Magazine, Slippery Elm, Watershed Review, and other literary journals and anthologies.
Kait released her debut poetry collection, A Time for Winter, in February 2019 and has published five books since, including her most recent collection, Blue Rose (2024).
Written in a blend of narrative, lyrical, and form styles, Kait’s poetry touches on such topics as mental health, relationships, heartbreak, and healing. She finds inspiration from prompts, pop culture, and other writers/art forms. Kait often weaves nature into her poems and loves creating intricate, visceral imagery that hits readers in all the senses. She is currently plunged in a deep-dive into her late teen/young adult romances and traumas.
When she is not writing poetry, Kait spends her time reading, singing, frequenting local coffee shops, looking at tattoos, and binge watching shows on Netflix. She currently lives in Minneapolis with her partner and their very polite Aussie mix Jesse.
