“Kathleen de Azevedo was born in Rio de Janeiro but has lived most of her life in the United States. Consequently, she notes that “my work often reflects the conflict between the Brazilian and the American culture: the sensual and the pragmatic; the myth of self- determination and the myth of El Dorado.” She currently lives in San Francisco with her husband, Lewis Campbell, director of Multi-Ethnic Theatre. De Azevedo teaches English at Skyline College in San Bruno. Her non-writing interests include hiking, traveling and dancing the tango (and samba too, of course!).De Azevedo’s work has appeared in numerous publications including the Los Angeles Times, Américas, Boston Review, Michigan Quarterly Review, Greensboro Review, Cream City Review, Hayden’s Ferry Review, Gulf Coast, Tampa Review and Green Mountains Review. In 1992, her poetry was featured in the Best American Poetry series. She received a grant for Stanford University’s Center of Latin American Studies to research Literatura de Cordel, folklore poetry of Northeast Brazil.”
