About the Author: Poet, Researcher, Teacher, and Speaker Karen Jean Matsko Hood began her professional writing career later in life than she expected. She is now a prolific writer of fiction, non-fiction and poetry for adults and children. Hood’s first Cookbooks of poetry present a distinctive combination of themes and poetic formats. Both her fiction and non-fiction exhibit a unique voice of compassion and purpose. Hood’s writing is strong-minded yet lyrical. She is a meticulous wordsmith and writes with passion. Her blend of traditionalism and modernism brings a current freshness and uniqueness to her poetic voice. She is versatile in her writing style and deals with a wide range of themes and topics. Her writing has been published in a myriad of magazines and publications and on an international level.
Hood’s writing reminds us of the importance of our link with nature and the environment in our daily lives.
