Kevin Chesser

John Doe is a passionate poet whose work explores the depths of human emotion and experience.

Kevin Chesser lives in the Allegheny Mountains of West Virginia. His writing can be found in places like Hobart, elsewhere, drDOCTOR, Pithead Chapel, Press Pause, Empty House Press, and others. He is the author of one full length collection of poetry - Relief of My Symptoms (Ghost Palace Press, 2023), plus numerous handmade chapbooks and zines. He earned his MFA from West Virginia Wesleyan University, and occasionally records music under the name Wizard Clipp. Send him a hi hello how are you anytime at www.kchesser.com or @sweat_michaels on Instagram.

I think of my life like a rope that I keep pulling out of the ground, foot after foot, wondering when it’s going to run out.

POEMS 

If I can use silence to convey something instead of words, I’ll almost always choose silence.
