I can offer no better biography than the one that was required of me when 'Going Without Peggy' was in the 2006 (published 2005) Pulitzer competition.
It can be seen in full on my web site, www.poeticat.com along with several of my poems, pictures of our cats and other relevant material.

It seems that I'm not the only high profile 'Karl Kline', so they confused the issue intead of clarifying it. Until Poemhunters puts up a search that includes my middle name, you can do a search for 'Karl Stuart Kline' or go directly to one of my sites at www.poeticat.com, www.poeticat.net or www.scaredsafe.org
