Pattie McCarthy (born 1971) is an American poet and educator.
McCarthy completed undergraduate work at Towson University and received her MA in creative writing from Temple University in Philadelphia in 1998. [1] [2]
McCarthy's poetry has been noted for its use of medieval subjects, references, and imagery, in addition to "re-visioning historical texts and re-voicing what has suffered omission from sanctioned history." [3] [4] More recent work has focused on tensions between public and private selves and day-to-day domesticities. [5] When interviewed, McCarthy has listed Rachel Blau DuPlessis, Susan Howe, Lyn Hejinian, Cole Swensen, and Anne Waldman as influential to her own work and style. [3]
