Biography of Poetry Contest Judge;
Laine Kuehn
Laine is a wandering-footed poet who tries to nurture curiosity as much as they can. They’re a graduate of Denver School of the Arts and the University of Maine at Farmington, were an intern editor at the Beloit Poetry Journal, and co-created an online literature and arts magazine.
They enjoy creating poetic spaces wherever they go and currently serve on the steering committee for the Belfast Poetry Festival and as a convener for an annual conference on the mythopoetic. Otherwise, they’re workshopping poems in a weekly writing group, getting their hands dirty in the garden, marveling at worms, and walking with the cat in Brooks, Maine.
