Kieran Collier is a Boston-based writer and educator. He is the author of When the Gardener Has Left (Wilde Press, 2015) and This to You (Beard Poetry, 2016). His work has been featured in multiple journals and anthologies. He was the first (and so far the only) four-time CUPSI member of Emerson College’s existence, and has since graduated to co-hosting at the Boston Poetry Slam. His favorite color is orange.
