Kirk Wilson

    This author's journey began with poetry, which, despite its fickle nature as a livelihood, remains a lifelong love. Their career has been enriched by journalism, advertising, film, and books, with a current focus on short fiction and narrative non-fiction. A fascination with criminal investigation, sparked during time as a crime reporter, led to a book exploring ten famous murders. Their film work has primarily involved writing and directing documentaries, including an acclaimed scientific film.

      Kirk Wilson's SONGBOX, winner of the 2020 Trio Award, is the testament of a mature poet confronting the dissolution of American assumptions, the precarious nature of identity, and the alchemical strangeness of experience. In the words of the Swedish poet Malina Mörling, the "profound and affecting poems" in SONGBOX "speak to us in an effortless and immediate syntax." In charged language, the poems dance with time and commune with love, memory, family, and loss. They bear acute witness to the pandemic, the long overdue reckoning with racial injustice, the threat of nascent fascism, the climate crisis. As the beloved poet Naomi Shihab Nye has written, "these are poems to return to again and again."
