Shelly Cato
Filed under: Authors
Shelly Cato is a 2024 Iron Horse Literary Review NaPoMo winner. Her writing has appeared in Hayden's Ferry Review, Rattle, Poet Lore, and TriQuarterly Review. She lived much of her life in the Mississippi Delta and now lives and writes on Mulberry Fork in Walker County, Alabama. When she is on her paddleboard, she finds stillness on the river—and sometimes, peace. She often writes about invasive species, and, somehow, the species that is also the methamphetamine addiction that has invaded her child's life. Find her on BlueSky.
