New Works: Kenzie Allen and Elise Paschen

Celebrate Kenzie Allen‘s debut poetry collection, Cloud Missives (Tin House, 2024), and Elise Paschen’s newest collection, Blood Wolf Moon (Red Hen Press, 2025). Cloud Missives is a poetry collection of excavation and renewal. With care and deep attention, Kenzie Allen asks what one can reimagine of Indigenous personhood in the wake of colonialism, what healing might look like when loving the world. Elise Paschen’s sixth collection, Blood Wolf Moon, explores her family history and Osage heritage, grappling with The Reign of Terror when outsiders murdered individual members of the Osage for their oil headrights. Blood Wolf Moon is an intimate and unrelenting quest for the translation of identity, attending to what lives on in the body, landscape, and language.
