Cate Jennings, (the poet formerly known as Cath) boasts grandparents who were self published bush poets, not averse to reading their works at the dinner table.  She grew up in small WA towns sans TV reception, watching adults amuse themselves and each other by writing and performing comedy skits.  The rest of her bio is truly fascinating.
