Poetry Corner featuring Alix Klingenberg

Alix Klingenberg is a poet, spiritual director, and creative dilettante. She describes herself as a cross between an ethereal woodland creature and an alternative 90’s girl stereotype and is only half-kidding. Alix graduated from Oberlin College in 2003 with a degree in Visual Art where she studied film and photography but also took way too many classes in Spanish literature and personality psychology to not have it count for something.  She is obsessed with people dynamics, myth, philosophy, and imagination.

Alix currently lives in Melrose, MA with her family, 2 black cats, and a ridiculous dog named Cricket. She is queer and polyamorous and believes poetry can heal our connection with nature and with ourselves.  With a passion for social justice, anti-racism, intersectional feminism, community, and the natural world, Alix writes from a place of spiritual transformation.

She has written three poetry collections, Secrets & Stars, Bread Sex Trees, and Hermit Season.
