Kiki Palace
Poet. Maker. Loud about the things worth being loud about.
Kiki Palace writes about the things we inherit and the things we set down.
Her first collection, Echoes of an Unveiled Soul, was written in the places poems actually get written — on the floor of a room at 2am that had stopped feeling like hers, on trails she didn’t know the names of, at a table on an unremarkable afternoon with the coffee going cold and the dogs at her feet. The poems move between identity, inherited grief, the natural world, and a healing that refuses to be polite about it. She has described the book herself as something that will confront you and soothe you, usually in that order.
What runs underneath all of it is a set of convictions she doesn’t keep quiet about: that the earth holding us up is worth raising your voice for, that no story is too small to matter, and that dignity isn’t something anyone should have to earn.
When she isn’t writing, she’s knotting brand-new socks into dog toys — no two the same, because no two dogs are.
“We rise together or we don’t rise at all.”
The planet and the human race
The natural world isn’t a backdrop in Kiki’s work — it’s a living poem, and one worth defending. The same goes for people: every story matters, no voice should go unheard, and the struggle for human dignity is the one we all share.
Organizations doing that work, if you want somewhere to put your own voice: Earth Day, Amnesty International, and the Sierra Club.
