Christopher Kuhl

Kuhl’s writing focuses intensely on how people deal with change: our coming of age, how we process grief, how we cope with death, our own upcoming demise in addition to the death of others. Kuhl’s depiction of the human condition and our relationship with time reveal a deep spirituality.

Kuhl’s life as a poet in a small town appears frequently in his work. His connection to a rural, natural setting is evident as he is originally from the northern Adirondacks. Kuhl now writes in a small river town in Illinois, where he has lived for the last 32 years.

In addition to several collections of poetry, Christopher Kuhl has published in a wide range of online and print publications, including Prairie Schooner; Tulane Review; Alabama Literary Review; Big Muddy; Round Magazine; Frigg Magazine; Evening Street Press and Broad River Review. He also has several poems coming out later in 2020, including "Oasis," in Sanskrit Magazine; and "Pastoral: The Poet, the World, the Word," and "They Look Like People, But They Ain't" (Paragon Journal). He has also written some short fiction, one piece of which, "Wade," won Editor's Choice in the 2016 issue of Inscape Magazine, and has been a guest blogger for Superstition Review.
