Kenneth Pobo has five books and twenty chapbooks published. His work has appeared in: Hawaii Review, Antigonish Review, Nimrod, Mudfish, Indiana Review, Weber: The Contemporary West, and elsewhere. He began writing poetry in 1970. He teaches creative writing and English at Widener University in Pennsylvania.

His elegant, readable poetry is also ethical and ironic, playful and serious. He keeps his focus...

Kenneth Pobo's seventh collection of poetry, Booking Rooms in Kuiper Belt, brings the reader from the Earth through the solar system and back with an uproarious lyric tour through otherworldly bodies and the everyday of life on earth. Bejewelled with homages to some of literature's greats and with the beauty of our everyday world, Pobo's collection holds out a consistent loving nod to our world and beyond.
