She loved writing poems since elementary school, and she was known as a "godmother of Wisconsin poetry".
Even though Kort had a huge resume, she still had a mission which was to teach poetry to anyone and everyone that wanted to learn.
She would travel though Wisconsin where she would facilitate poetry workshops in schools, for at-risk youth, grieving parents, domestic abuse survivors, and women in prison.
A few of her published collections of poetry include "If Death Were a Women" and "The Sacred Grove".
Kort's poetry has also been performed by the New York City Dance Theatre.
