After receiving her B.A. in English Education from the University of Wyoming,
Catherine Leigh Reeves worked as an English teacher in Pine Bluffs Wyoming. Recently, Reeves returned to the University to pursue an M.A. She majors in Literature and minors in Gender and Women's Studies. Her thesis, "Plathmares: Sylvia Plath's Poetics and the American Gothic" examines Plath's revisions of traditional gothic conventions. While her interest in Plath guides her critical work, Reeves also finds that Plath strongly influences her creative pieces. Reeves is currently writing a poetry chapbook, which explores the power dynamic between women patients and their male doctors.
