Kansas Letters to a Young Poet

Inspired by the original Letters to a Young Poet by Rianer Maria Rilke, Kevin Rabas (2017-2019 Kansas Poet Laureate) brings together established and emerging poets in this collection of letters, emails, and poems.

As part of his poet laureate service Rabas matched seven established poets with seven promising writers to share wisdom, guidance, encouragement, and laughs as they navigate the literary world and the culture that pervades it.
