Kathleen McConnell (pen name Kathy Mac) teaches 19th Century Literature, Women Writers, Gothic Literature and Creative Writing at St. Thomas University. She has published two books of poems: The Hundefraulein Papers (Roseway, 2009), and Nail Builders Plan for Strength and Growth (Roseway, 2001), which was a finalist for the Governor General's Award, and won the Lampert Award for Best First Book of Poems published in Canada in 2001. In 2006 she received a SSHRC Research/Creation grant to produce a manuscript of Scholarly Long Poems, which has led to work such as the most recent of her eight refereed publications, "Omar Khadr is not Harry Potter." It explores the differences between the child soldiers of fiction and reality.
