ⓘ About Kevin Wilson
Kevin’s work has appeared in Tin House, Ploughsares, and Cincinnati Review, as well as other places. It has also appeared in four volumes as part of the New Stories from the South: The Years Best anthology and The PEN/O. Henry Prize Stories 2012. Kevin has gotten fellowships from the KHN Center for the Arts, the MacDowell Colony, and Yaddo. Since Kevin’s wife is a writer too, (poet Leigh Ann Couch) a couple times a year, one of them will stay home with their two kids for ten days or so while the other one will rent a cabin or is doing a residency. While Kevin goes on a writing sojourn, he goes off on mind-clearing strolls. That was not possible while he wrote “Nothing to See Here”, a novel that he wound up writing in just ten days.
