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. Demonstrating common crises essential to our core, her poetry also voices outrage at social injustices and inequalities. The reoccurring theme in Hood’s non-fiction is providing a voice for those whose struggles are otherwise ignored. Hood’s poetry brings poignancy to the most hopeless of situations. She is optimistic in her quest for dignity and social justice. Hood also writes about personal and spiritual themes and is a passionate feminist and an ardently active child’s rights advocate. She writes with a proud regionalism, yet expands her writing to international concerns. Hood reveals her twin hearts in her writing; one is in awe of the beauty of life and nature, while the other struggles with social injustice and inequity.
