Student Profiles: Kate Kimball

photoI am a short story fiction writer and once in a while ... a poet, so it is safe to say that my interests are in the creative work.  I am interested in the use of academic writing and language in defining and redefining characters, relationships, and stories on the whole, thus creating something that is innovative and transient to stereotypes of experimental fiction.  I am also fascinated by non-fiction, especially memoirs, and their juxtaposition to creative work.  So much of the ‘human experience’ is defined by how we think and internalize what is happening around/to us, and writing is a wonderful tool to bring those internal experiences to the external, contrasting fiction and non-fiction and challenging us to question what is real.
