In his debut poetry collection Worldly Things, poet, essayist, and literary critic Michael Kleber-Diggs delivers profound reflections on loss, parenthood, masculinity, and life as a Black man in contemporary America (and specifically, in St. Paul, Minnesota). Amidst tragedy, these poems extend themselves towards compassion and radical kindness, envisioning a more just and tender world while acknowledging how far we still have to go.

Michael Kleber-Diggs is the author of Worldly Things, which was awarded the 2020 Max Ritvo Poetry Prize. Michael teaches poetry and creative non-fiction through the Minnesota Prison Writers Workshop.
