Past is Prologue: Kat's Recitals
Kat
Lee's
posture
caused crooked
walls to straighten and
square themselves
like true
plumb
lines.
Some called her the Chameleon Professor since she would
dress like literary figures,
lecture from diverse
viewpoints, then
perform
poems,
prose,
plays
linking
resources
to personas, Kat
transformed into Sappo, Shakespeare,
Mary Shelley, Amy Tan, Mark Twain, Anaïs Nin.
Her
voice
transfixed
student filled
lecture halls and breathed
fresh life back
into
fine
lit.
