2025 Spring Workshop
April 25-26th in Cheyenne, Wyoming

WyoPoets welcomed Kristin Abraham as the presenter for the Spring Workshop,
that took place in Cheyenne on April 25–26, 2025.
A gifted poet, educator, and mentor, Kristin brought a wealth of knowledge and experience to our community. Kristin is the author of The Disappearing Cowboy Trick (Horse Less Press, 2013), as well as two chapbooks: Little Red Riding Hood Missed the Bus (Subito Press, 2008) and Orange Reminds You of Listening (Elixir Press, 2006). Her poetry and lyric essays have appeared in Best New
Poets 2005, Columbia Poetry Review, LIT, and American Letters & Commentary.
Kristin holds an M.F.A. in Poetry from West Virginia University (2006) and a B.A. in English
from Central Michigan University (2003). From 2006 to 2023, she served as an assistant
professor and full-time instructor of English, teaching composition and creative writing at
universities and colleges in Michigan, Iowa, and Wyoming. During that time, she also served as
a faculty advisor for a student newspaper and a student-run literary and arts journal, as well
as spending four years as a writing center coordinator.
Currently living and teaching in Colorado, Kristin’s background as both a poet and an educator
provided an engaging and insightful experience for participants.
The Spring Workshop was supported in part by a grant from the Wyoming Arts Council, with support from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Wyoming Legislature.
