Poet of the week, Krista Lukas, suggests that WTR readers check out the work of up-and-coming poet, Kathleen Kilcup. Lukas writes, "Kilcup writes remarkable poems of personal and spiritual insight, poems that are by turns elegaic, reverent, and pensive. Having published many of her poems in literary magazines, she is at work on her first full-length collection, a book I most certainly look forward to!" 

Read Kilcup's poem, "Freedom," at The Poet's Billow.

Meet Nicole Wilson

Poet of the week, Kristen Orser, writes: "Nicole Wilson's work asks strange questions. It asks those questions that creep up on you when you are starting to sleep or starting to wake, when you are between, and the world is blurry. In this way, Wilson's work is wondrous. She gives uncertainty as a twin to knowledge and works out formulas for the many ways knowing and unknowing happen all at once. As a reader of Wilson's work, I am stunned by what is packed into the space of her poems; and how, with all that packing, there is breathing, white space, room to spread out and think alongside the words as they happen. Perhaps that is the merit of Wilson's work: it's happening. It is living in the world—in the difficulty of coming to think and say something clearly—and in the presence of the reader. It is all very instant, very playful and difficult. "
