[KANSAS ANVIL THUNDERHEAD]
BY KEVIN RABAS
Around us, a storm cloud rose. Likely, it holds lightning and rain along with water. Although it
has not hit us yet, it will. (It will.)

Past Poet Laureate of Kansas (2017-2019) Kevin Rabas teaches at Emporia State University, where he leads the poetry and playwriting tracks and directs the Donald Reichardt Center for Publishing & the Literary Arts. He has sixteen books, including Lisa’s Flying Electric Piano, a Kansas Notable Book and Nelson Poetry Book Award winner.
