There are poets who write of the countryside, as some will write of El Salvador or Bosnia, from an inner distance, having taken a look and come away with some stray bits of literary material. Robert Kinsley's poems come from the heartland--from where he has lived and worked, keeping the memory of that experience alive. In what Wendell Berry has called an authentic settlement of this country the best of these poems should find their place. -John Haines Robert Kinsley was born and raised on a dairy farm in northern Ohio. He is currently Assistant Editor of The Ohio Review, and an instructor of English at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, where he lives with his wife and son. His first book of poems is Endangered Species (Orchises Press, 1989). Back to Field Stones |
