edit data

Ryan Kegley is a poet living in the Flint Hills of Kansas. His writing is rooted in the belief that paying close attention—to landscapes, relationships, memory, and the natural world—is one way we learn to belong.

His debut collection, In the Bewilderment, explores wonder, ecology, grief, and grace through poems that invite readers to see the familiar with fresh eyes. His work has appeared in the Wellington Daily News, Writing the Land: Wanderings I, The New Territory, Quarry, and elsewhere.

When he’s not writing, Ryan works as a creative director and brand strategist, helping organizations uncover and tell the stories that make them uniquely themselves. He is also an avid reader and reviewer of contemporary poetry and literary nonfiction. ...more
