BIO

Ms. Blanchette has been writing poetry for over 20 years. Her first book titled, "Layers of Moments,” was published in 2006 and contains poetry as well as black and white photographs of Midwestern scenery. Her poetry can best be described as spiritual, intellectual and daring. Her photography is multi-dimensional - soft and gentle, yet hard and coarse. She describes a black and white photo as "timeless."

Ms. Blanchette is also the creator of The Fellow Bee Society (est. May 2007). The FBS explores the written, spoken and performed word along with the diverse aspects of photography with individuals who want to share their art and partake in the enjoyment of that process. As an author, Kimberly has been a presenter at the Wisconsin Writers Conference at University Baraboo/Sauk County, the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, the Fine Arts Festival in Milton, the Alphabet Soup conference in Minneapolis, Minnesota and at WIsCon in Madison. She has performed her charismatic poetry on WORT F.M. (Madison 89.9), at the Hedberg Public Library (also televised in April 2007), Book World and the Senior Center in Janesville, at A Room of One's Own and Avol's Bookstore in Madison, and at the Village Booksmith in Baraboo.

Along with poetry readings/performances and public speaking events, Ms. Blanchette frequently holds many exciting workshops offered to the public as well as for universities, political organizations, woman's organizations, LGBT organizations, and other places of social and educational interest.
