Some Highlights from August 2025.
I will be making a zine of vegetable art each month this year. Here is the vegetable artwork for August, tomatoes and the vegetable art zine for August.
This year I’m working on a series of digital paintings made in Inkscape of abstract grids of multi-color squares. Check out the August 2025 paintings and print out a free zine of the series.
Over the last few years I wrote poetry based prompts posted on mastodon by a community of writers who share haiku prompts everyday. Read the haiku here. I just finished putting together a book collection of this poetry, Minor Transient Documents of Everyday Life, three line recipes, short stories, jokes, riddles, science projects, love notes, horrors, confessions, and memories. buy it here through blurb. If you are interested in selling this book in your book store on consignment, please email me at info@katherinemontalto.com.
This year I thought I might experiment with form, but it turns out, all I’ve written are non-rhyming sonnets. 14 lines, 10 syllables each. 3 Quatrains then end with a couplet. The poem I wrote this month was inspired by Corn Sweat and heat domes in the Midwest. Read the poem here. Print out a free zine of it here.
Zine libraries are welcome to print out my zines and put them in their collections. Please contact me to let me know.
