Karla Kelsey on teaching at SU: “I have been teaching in the creative writing program at Susquehanna since 2005. One of the main reasons it is so special to me has to do with the fact that I grew up a serious dancer and just adored being in the ballet studio. While writers have a more isolated artistic practice than dancers, being at SU is close to that studio experience. I love being a practicing writer among other writers, colleagues and students alike. If you want to have your creative spirit nurtured, creative writing at Susquehanna is for you!”

On Certainty
世界末日出版社，2023年
在诗歌中 On Certainty, an unnamed woman in a strangely familiar dystopia narrates a story of power and decline, where the Tyrant has gained ascendency and the Philosopher is dying. Here, the Tyrant rules over a decimated ecology filled with android deer, burnt towns, and exhausted individuals dependent on virtual reality augmentation. In choosing whether to take the Philosopher’s place in a struggle against the Tyrant, the narrator must consider how her decision may perpetuate the currently existing catastrophic systems.
Blood Feather
图珀洛出版社，2020年
An actress. A thinker. A filmmaker. Built of archives and the imagination, the three fictive women narrating Blood Feather articulate a feminist philosophy of art-making and life-making for our fractured world. Kelsey engages the given by calling on female artists of the past—Lilian Gish, Maya Deren, 玛丽亚Tallchief, 以及建筑师艾琳·格雷, among others—to join this drama of character and form. Here, structures of the past and ambitions for our future shape Blood Feather’s personae as they confirm and resist, collude with and attempt to reinvent, the cultural and personal histories that surround them.
Of Sphere
征文出版社，2017
Selected by Carla Harryman for the Essay Press Prize
“Through her challenge to dug-in patriarchal logics, Kelsey choreographs a contemporary vision that follows in the experimental tradition of earlier modern feminist essays, including Virginia Woolf’s Three Guineas, H.D.’s Tribute to Freud, and Hélène Cixous’ ‘The Laugh of the Medusa.’ Kelsey brings an urgency to this tradition through her attention to the destructive human
impact on the earth, ecological crisis, and her vision of another way to inhabit the world.”
卡拉Harryman
连体书
omidawn出版社，2014
“In answer to impossible questions I borrow the story of bones burned.” In this astonishing and carefully structured “double book” Karla Kelsey interweaves an extensive mediation on The Juniper Tree with a lyric exploration of trauma, violence, and memory. There is no way to have one without the other: cultural artifact, individual story—Kelsey shows us how these realms are not divisible…I’ve never read anything like it and it’s changed me.
—Julie Carr
Iteration Nets
Ahsahta出版社，2010
“In this uncompromisingly inventive triptych, Kelsey shows us how she ‘threw away abstraction’ in order to meditate on what inhabits relation. 出自十四行诗, 到散文十四行诗, 到群岛页面, every poem discretely recalibrates the way replicating lines constitute experience, its gestures, 它的清晰的斗篷, 它的密集渲染.”
让·雅克·Poucel
知识，形式，鸟舍
Ahsahta出版社，2006
Selected by Carolyn Forché for the Sawtooth Poetry Prize
“Kelsey writes what it is to know, of ‘what we become/ when the universe is seen in lights of its generation.’ We are, in this work, 在事情的中间, and as Plato’s Socrates has it, ‘the eye becomes filled with vision and now sees, and becomes, 不是视觉，而是看见的眼睛.’”

在诗歌中 On Certainty, an unnamed woman in a strangely familiar dystopia narrates a story of power and decline, where the Tyrant has gained ascendency and the Philosopher is dying. Here, the Tyrant rules over a decimated ecology filled with android deer, burnt towns, and exhausted individuals dependent on virtual reality augmentation. In choosing whether to take the Philosopher’s place in a struggle against the Tyrant, the narrator must consider how her decision may perpetuate the currently existing catastrophic systems.
Blood Feather
图珀洛出版社，2020年
An actress. A thinker. A filmmaker. Built of archives and the imagination, the three fictive women narrating Blood Feather articulate a feminist philosophy of art-making and life-making for our fractured world. Kelsey engages the given by calling on female artists of the past—Lilian Gish, Maya Deren, 玛丽亚Tallchief, 以及建筑师艾琳·格雷, among others—to join this drama of character and form. Here, structures of the past and ambitions for our future shape Blood Feather’s personae as they confirm and resist, collude with and attempt to reinvent, the cultural and personal histories that surround them.

Selected by Carla Harryman for the Essay Press Prize
“Through her challenge to dug-in patriarchal logics, Kelsey choreographs a contemporary vision that follows in the experimental tradition of earlier modern feminist essays, including Virginia Woolf’s Three Guineas, H.D.’s Tribute to Freud, and Hélène Cixous’ ‘The Laugh of the Medusa.’ Kelsey brings an urgency to this tradition through her attention to the destructive human
impact on the earth, ecological crisis, and her vision of another way to inhabit the world.”

“In answer to impossible questions I borrow the story of bones burned.” In this astonishing and carefully structured “double book” Karla Kelsey interweaves an extensive mediation on The Juniper Tree with a lyric exploration of trauma, violence, and memory. There is no way to have one without the other: cultural artifact, individual story—Kelsey shows us how these realms are not divisible…I’ve never read anything like it and it’s changed me.

Iteration Nets
Ahsahta出版社，2010
“In this uncompromisingly inventive triptych, Kelsey shows us how she ‘threw away abstraction’ in order to meditate on what inhabits relation. 出自十四行诗, 到散文十四行诗, 到群岛页面, every poem discretely recalibrates the way replicating lines constitute experience, its gestures, 它的清晰的斗篷, 它的密集渲染.”

Selected by Carolyn Forché for the Sawtooth Poetry Prize
“Kelsey writes what it is to know, of ‘what we become/ when the universe is seen in lights of its generation.’ We are, in this work, 在事情的中间, and as Plato’s Socrates has it, ‘the eye becomes filled with vision and now sees, and becomes, 不是视觉，而是看见的眼睛.’”
