I Will Not Kick My Friends

Poems

Author Kathleen Winter

"I Will Not Kick My Friends" by Kathleen Winter is one of the winners of the 17th Annual Elixir Press Poetry Awards.

Contest judge, Jane Satterfield, had this to say about "I Will Not Kick My Friends": "Sparkling, satirical, and highly referential, Winter's poems offer deep rewards. They consistently resist scholarly insularity, and the overall effect is a refreshingly choral, intoxicating verse."

Praise for this book

Kathleen Winter is unusually attuned to the intersection of the imagined and the common place. She weaves her loves — personal, artistic, intellectual — into her daily life, making this a book of passionate intimacies. Kathleen's attitude — her appetite — is made clear by her vision of Eve in the poem, 'Noir' — 'He offered me the apple — / what could I do?' This is a wonderful book.
