Four Poems Newly Online

Posted byKendall DunkelbergPosted inPoetryTags:, , , , , , ,

Not too long ago, I discovered that four of my poems are now available online. I have a Google alert set up for my name, and though it usually doesn’t show me much that’s interesting or that i don’t already know about, occasionally, it proves valuable. That’s how I discovered that the University of Alabama Birmingham has made their back issues of Birmingham Poetry Review available online through their Digital Commons. This includes two poems of mine from 2004 and two from 2023. I’ve added these to my online poetry page. I’ve also added a few more recent online publications.

But I thought I’d post about it on my blog as well, especially since, you can search on “Birmingham Poetry Review” at the UAB Public Commons, and you can access any issue back to 1998 so far. This is an excellent resource for a huge amount of great poetry. Until now, BPR was print only. This makes it more accessible to many more people.

I am a poet, translator, and professor of literature and creative writing at Mississippi University for Women, where I direct the Low-Residency MFA in Creative Writing, the undergraduate concentration in creative writing, and the Eudora Welty Writers' Symposium. I am Chair of the Department of Languages, Literature, and Philosophy, and I have published four collections of poetry, Tree Fall with Birdsong, Barrier Island Suite, Time Capsules, and Landscapes and Architectures, as well as a collection of translations of the Belgian poet Paul Snoek, Hercules, Richelieu, and Nostradamus, and the textbook A Writer's Craft: Multi-Genre Creative Writing. I was born and raised in Osage, Iowa, and have lived for over thirty years in Columbus, Mississippi, where my wife Kim and I let wildflowers grow in our yard to the delight of spring polinators and only some of our neighbors.
