Kate grew up in the High View Church Farm, a secluded place where children worked and lived in militant conditions, rarely saw their families, and had little contact with the outside world. Hear her story on Friday, May 10 when Generation Cult releases Season 4, Episode 3: The Farm and The Neon Sun.
At age 18, Kate left The Farm with only a couple of dollars in her pocket and no idea if that was a lot of money or not.
Education was a lifeline but it’s also pretty expensive. Kate lived in her car some of the time to save money. Now she advocates for housing for students. She’s also the co-founder and managing editor of Red Hen Press, author of seven books of poetry, and a teacher at Chapman University.
Join us Friday to discuss her life and just-released debut novel entitled Under the Neon Sun, which follows the struggles of an unhoused young queer woman trying to get her education after leaving a cult.
