About the Program:

"Kate Moses knows everything on record about Sylvia Plath, but her novelist imagination takes us into those crevices of Plath's mind where no one else has ever penetrated. Her novel evokes the special qualities of the wife, the mother, the poet, the woman whose intensity of experience somehow overwhelmed her senses, her sanity, but never her language." - Peter Davison, Plath's friend, editor, and editor of the best-known biography of Plath

In this novel Wintering, and in her work with Camille Peri on the national bestseller and American Book Award-winning anthology Mothers Who Think: Tales of Real-Life Parenthood, Kate Moses elevates the discussion of motherhood and shows that it gives women more to think about, not less.

Kate Moses, a San Francisco native, worked as an editor at Berkeley's acclaimed North Point Press and as literary director of Intersection for the Arts. In 1997 she teamed up with journalist Camille Peri to found Salon.com's popular daily website "Mothers Who Think."
