III. Cathy Song;

Personal life and educationEdit

Cathy Song was born in Hawaii to Ella Song, a Chinese-American seamstress and Andrew Song, a Korean-American airline pilot.[2] She grew up in the Waialae Kahala neighborhood on Oahu.[3] She showed an early interest in writing and literature and was able to write at a high level in her youth. When she was eleven, Song wrote her first novel. During high school Song shifted her focus to music and began writing songs, as she wanted to be a songwriter like her idol Joan Baez. She also became interested in poetry and continued to write poems after high school.

Song attended the University of Hawaii at Manoa, where she worked closely with the poet critic John Unterecker, who believed that Song's work would prosper once she reached the mainland. He convinced her to transfer to Wellesley College in Massachusetts, where she found further encouragement after reading Georgia O'Keeffe's self titled studio book. Song would eventually incorporate artwork from this book into her first published book, Picture Bride. After graduating from Wellesley with a Bachelor in English literature, Song went on to complete a Master of Arts degree at Boston University in 1981. During this time Song married her husband, Douglas Davenport.[2] The two had their first child, a son, in Boston in 1983. Two years following their son's birth, they moved to Denver, because of Davenport's medical residency. During their time in Denver they had their second child, a daughter born in 1986. The following year they moved to Hawaii, where Song took on a job as a teacher.[2] Song had a third child in 1991, another son. Song and her family built their home in Volcano on Hawaii Island. Song's husband, a former ER doctor, is a painter and ceramic artist.[4]
