The VPR Poem of the Week is Kevin Pilkington’s “Capri,” which appeared in the Fall/Winter 2005-2006 issue (Volume VII, Number 1) of Valparaiso Poetry Review, where he was the featured poet. The same issue also contains an interview of Pilkington conducted by Linda Simone.Kevin Pilkington, a member of the writing faculty at Sarah Lawrence College, is the author of five collections of poetry, including Spare Change, winner of the La Jolla Poets Press National Book Award, and Ready to Eat the Sky, released by River City Publishing as part of their poetry series selected by Andrew Hudgins. His poetry also has been published in anthologies—such as Birthday Poems: A Celebration, Contemporary Poetry of New England, and Western Wind—as well as literary journals, including Boston Review, Columbia, Confrontation, Green Mountains Review, Greensboro Review, Gulf Coast, Hayden's Ferry Review, Iowa Review, Louisville Review, Ploughshares, and Poetry.
Tuesday of each week “One Poet’s Notes” highlights an exceptional work by a poet selected from the archives of Valparaiso Poetry Review with the recommendation that readers revisit it. Please check the sidebar to view the list of poets and works that have been past “Poem of the Week” selections. Additionally, readers are reminded that VPR pages are best read with the browser font preference in which they were set, 12 pt. Times New Roman, in order to guarantee the stanza alignment and the breaks of longer lines are preserved.
