About the Prairie Poets of the Long Shadow

The name speaks to their legacy: poets who have walked the long roads of the Midwest, carrying stories that stretch across generations. Their work is rooted in the land—its storms, its silences, its stubborn beauty—and in the communities that rise like lanterns along the prairie’s edge. Their readings are known for their intimacy, humor, and mythic resonance, drawing audiences who return year after year to witness the evolving tapestry of their voices.
