Join us for an evening reading & signing with celebrated writer Kenzie Allen, sharing her award-winning debut poetry collection Cloud Missives in conversation with local poet Natalie Eilbert.
About the Collection
Intimate, dissecting, and liberating, Cloud Missives is a poetry collection of excavation and renewal. Like an anthropologist, Kenzie Allen reveals a life from what endures after tragedies and acts of survival. Across four sections, poems explore pop culture—the stereotypes in Peter Pan, Indiana Jones, and beyond—fairy tales, myths, protests, and forgotten histories, before arriving at a dazzling series of love poems that deepen our understanding of romantic, platonic, and communal love.
Cloud Missives is an investigation, a manifestation, and a celebration: of the body, of what we make and remake, of the self, and of the heart. With care and deep attention, it asks what one can reimagine of Indigenous personhood in the wake of colonialism, what healing might look like when loving the world around you—and introduces readers to a profound new voice in poetry.
About the Poets
Kenzie Allen is an Assistant Professor of English at York University, specializing in Creative Writing and Indigenous Literatures. Her research centers on documentary and visual poetics, literary cartography, and the enactment of Indigenous sovereignties through creative works. She is a first-generation descendant of the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin.
Kenzie is the author of Cloud Missives (Tin House, 2024). A finalist for the 2022 National Poetry Series, she is the recipient of a 92NY Discovery / Joan Leiman Jacobson Poetry Prize, a James Welch Prize for Indigenous Poets from Poetry Northwest, the 49th Parallel Award in poetry from Bellingham Review, broadside prizes from Littoral Press and Sundress Publications, grants from Ontario Arts Council, and fellowships from Vermont Studio Center, Aspen Summer Words, and Indigenous Nations Poets (In-Na-Po). Her poems can be found in Poetry magazine, The Iowa Review, Narrative magazine, Black Warrior Review, Boston Review, Best New Poets and other venues.
Natalie Eilbert is a poet and journalist from New York. She is the author of Overland (Copper Canyon 2023), Indictus (Noemi Press 2018) and Swan Feast (Bloof Books 2015). Her poems have recently appeared in The Paris Review, The Believer and Poetry Northwest. She lives and works in Wisconsin.
