Early life and education edit
Graber was raised in Wildwood, New Jersey where she still owns a home. She studied under poet Stephen Dunn and went on to earn her BA in philosophy from New York University.[1] She quit teaching middle school English to afford herself the ability to enroll in an MFA program and pursue a career in poetry. Kathleen said of the experience, "Most poets live humble lives, I think, and maybe that is by temperament or design, or maybe it is just a necessity."[2]
Awards edit
Graber has earned many awards for her work including the Rona Jaffe Foundation Writers' Award (2003), the Amy Lowell Traveling award, a National Endowment for the Arts award and the Guggenheim award. She is a Hodder Fellow of Princeton University, a National Book Award finalist and a National Book Critics Circle finalist.
