KG Newman is a fourth-generation Coloradan and sportswriter for The Denver Post. The poet and literary editor lives in Hidden Village with his wife Dani, three kids and four dogs, and believes there’s a bit of honesty in everybody — it just takes the right woman, daughter, son or Sunday doubleheader at Coors Field in order to bring it out.
In addition to hiking, camping, cycling, skiing and living out a lost dream in men’s summer league baseball, he’s quick to shoot in pickup hoops and always swings the driver way too hard on the back nine. He dreams in words, the projector long broken. And he’s still waiting to paint the perfect poem.
From a review by Top-Shelf Literary Magazine: Newman’s poems “move through survival, strange landscapes, ruined celebrations, and the kind of scars that tell the truth without asking for attention… He writes like someone who has spent a great deal of time paying attention to the spaces other people overlook…. with originality, striking imagery, and emotional depth that does not announce itself.”
