Description
Poet William Kemmett was raised in Boston, Massachusetts, studied poetry at Harvard University, and holds an MFA in writing from Vermont College of Norwich University. This collection spans decades and seasons of gardening, raising children, and growing up in a city of brick and molasses, hustle and forgiveness.
His poems have appeared in the United States, Canada, Australia, Thailand, China, and India, in numerous magazines and journals including Yankee Magazine, Cimarron Review, Poetry Australia, Mother India, Seattle Review, Calliope, and The Café Review, among others. He is a 2015 Pushcart Prize nominee, has won two Yankee Magazine poetry prizes, and received awards from the Massachusetts Artists Foundation and the New England Poetry Club.
Kemmett presently lives with his wife in Port Saint Lucie, Florida, finding inspiration at the Marina at St. Lucie River.
