Christine Kanownik

I am a writer, editor, and strategist living in Michigan.

I'm a poet, curator, and environmental writer. I host the monthly reading series FIELD TRIP at Book Suey in Hamtramck, Michigan.

This is the book's most satisfying aspect: that the lyric feels intimate and conversational without losing rhythm or momentum. Electric with breath and blood, Kanownik's poems remind readers that yes, disaster looms, but one must still contend with the self: "living this long// it is a project."
