Natalie Kenvin

Natalie Kenvin has studied with Donald Hall, W. D. Snodgrass, Lucille Clifton and Charles Simic and returned to writing in 1988 after a twenty-five-year silence. Many of her poems are set in urban neighborhoods and state hospitals, making Kenvin, like Sylvia Plath, a poet of dark moods and slashing epiphanies. "To know her/ Is like kissing in the narrow, warring alleys."
