She is the author of three full-length poetry collections: The Most Kissed Woman in the World (Kelsay Books\, 2024)\, Some Flawed Magic (Kelsay Books\, 2021)\, and In the Belly of the Albatross (Glass Lyre Press\, 2015). She earned an MFA in Creative Writing from Mills College\, and her work has appeared widely in journals such as Ploughshares\, Malahat Review\, and Sugar House Review. \nAbout The Most Kissed Woman in the World: \n“There is so much beauty in Patricia Caspers’ The Most Kissed Woman in the World\, and a lot of darkness\, too. In each “Portrait of God” Caspers finds the sacred somewhere unexpected: a pungent ginkgo tree; an assisted living facility; a dysfunctional family; the self in all its gorgeous imperfections. These lyrical\, surprising poems look at the world with hard-won clarity and tenderness\, embracing joy without turning away from suffering. “God is the kitchen knife that misses\,” Caspers writes\, as well as “the crash of abundance.” Exactly. The Most Kissed Woman is sharp and generous and wise\, reminding us where we hurt and also\, in its revelatory unfoldings\, why we go on.” –Chloe Martinez\, author of Ten Thousand Selves \n  \nMolly Fisk\n \nMolly Fisk edited California Fire & Water\, A Climate Crisis Anthology\, with a Poets Laureate Fellowship from the Academy of American Poets. Author of The More Difficult Beauty\, Listening to Winter\, and five volumes of radio commentary\, her new collection Walking Wheel is forthcoming from Red Hen Press in 2026. Fisk\, who lives in the Sierra foothills\, has also won grants from the National Endowment for the Arts\, the California Arts Council\, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. She was the inaugural poet laureate of Nevada County and is current poet laureate of both KVMR-FM\, Nevada City and Hell’s Backbone Grill in Boulder\, UT. \n  \n
