During the most recent KATE Pages Open Write, Nathan Whitman took some time to pen a poem about what KATE is, for himself and others.
Read the poem on the Kansas Association of Teachers of English blog KATE PAGES.

Poem: Eros I On
This person you see is a shadow
of the man he wants to be,
of the man he cannot become
because no matter how he chisels his heart
into Galatea’s likeness, stone
erodes, cracks
on the smoothest faces.
N. Grant Whitman
