K. Nicole Wilson grew up on the baseball fields and basketball courts of Maysville, KY, and reading year-round in its public and school libraries. While attending the University of Kentucky, the right brain won and the poet emerged from the shell of mathematics major. Nurtured under the kind and discerning eyes of Leatha Kendrick, James Baker Hall, and Nikky Finney, it became clear there was no other choice. K. Nicole earned her MFA in poetry at Spalding University's brief residency program, studying and blossoming beneath the brilliant Greg Pape, Richard Cecil, Molly Peacock, Barbara Hamby, and Rane Arroyo. It was Rane who told her not to be afraid to be tender; these are some of those poems. During graduate school she lived in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, reading Stephen King, and shouting poetry from snow-capped peaks. The distance from her Kentucky home gave new insight to K. Nicole's writing, creating a pining. A move to shrouded Seattle confirmed the need to go back to the Bluegrass, back to a city where it actually rains more: Lexington, the state's beating blue heart. She hibernates in a little harbour with Oy, her beautiful billy-bumbler/cow dog where they root for Wildcats and waggle as much as possible.
