Kate Green (B.A. '72), who earned her master's degree in creative writing from Boston University (where she studied with John Cheever and Anne Sexton), has taught at the University of Minnesota and Hamline University and is now at North Hennepin Community College. Author of the 1986 Edgar Award-winning mystery "Shattered Moon," Green has published five novels, eight children's books, and two collections of poetry. Her novels were selected by the Book of the Month Club and translated into ten languages. She has won a Minnesota Book Award and two Bush Foundation Fellowships for Poetry and has raised three sons, also writers, who write hip-hop and spoken word. She is collaborating on a children's book with her middle son, Elliot Looney, on The Man, which follows a black man as he searches for direction and identity. This summer she plans to finish a memoir about her experience as a white mother raising multiracial children.
