Patricia Fowler Keoughan earned a PhD in Human Development and Family Studies with a specialization in Marriage and Family Therapy from Iowa State University. She taught at Iowa State University and the University of South Alabama, maintained a clinical practice specializing in couples’ therapy, and served as a human systems consultant to businesses and professional organizations.

During childhood her family moved more times and to more places than she can recall. Born in Mobile, Alabama, memories of Lower Alabama, as well as central and southern Florida, are among her most vivid. It is often those memories that evoke poems of place, nature, and serenity. Those places are also evocative of dark experiences of her own life and of recently uncovered unsettling histories of ancestors.
