About -
         Rachel Huerta 

Cate Lycurgus is a writer and educator deeply invested in the ways language can spark discovery, create connection, and cultivate care. As a native Californian and long-term caregiver, Cate writes deeply sonic work, always in pursuit of light—paying close attention not only to what is dire, but the glimmer inside it. She is the author of Seacliff (Bull City Press, 2025) and her work has appeared in Best American Poetry, The American Poetry Review, Ploughshares, ZYZZYVA, Kenyon Review, Orion, and elsewhere. Cate lives in San Jose, California, where she interviews for 32 Poems, co-curates the Headwaters Reading Series for Health and Wellbeing, and teaches writing.
