well hello there!

welcome! you can find links to download the PDF book layout versions of all 12 of my poetry collections here! 7 have an audiobook companion. these might be considered poetry projects as well. the most recent 8 collections feature collaborative poetry i/we created with 370+ people from 2018-2025. all are FREE!

if you like or dislike strange noise and found sounds then you will really like or dislike my audiobooks. i like (but do not dislike) concocting my own soundscapes alongside my wordscapes. i am hoping to one day have audio versions for all 12 collections!

i really, really hope that something catches your ear or eye in the best possible way here.

thank you for taking a look or listen,
K Weber

daylight & tenfold orioles (2025)

DAYLIGHT & TENFOLD ORIOLES is here! It includes 17 poems and 1 work of microfiction by 17 authors. In total, this collection was created by 49 participants & their 55 contributed words.

This collection also shares some of the thrilling data from donated words poetry projects from 2018-2023 such as… 302 people have donated 701 words to these experiences! And there has been so much more and it has been a real treasure to host these poems and projects! Here’s to 5 great years of collaboration and it will be interesting to see what’s next! This project was released on May 5, 2023.

cling as ink (2018)

CAI_cover

August 30, 2018, found me unveiling this 20th anniversary project!

cling as ink includes 45 poems by me that each use a title corresponding to poetry, short fiction, and visual art from the 1997-1998 issue of my college literary magazine, Inklings. This particular volume was published when I was the editor. My poems are next to my writings about the original works that had the title I used as well as the authors and artists behind them. There is a fair amount of reflection on my time on the staff of Inklings and at Miami University.

This is a large body of work. You can download the audiobook for free. A carefully-created downloadable PDF contains the visual book layout (also free!).
