I worked with Douglas Kearney in several ad agencies in Minneapolis many years ago. A very talented poet with a love of performance, he has recently won the coveted Whiting Award (one of those awards you don’t actually apply for … it just seeks you out). Previous winners include Jonathan Franzen, Tobias Wolff and Jeffrey Eugenides.

Congratulations Doug!

You can find Doug online here, where he has made samples of his work freely available for download.
