Hello, blog readers, and welcome to another Pick-a-Poem post. In case you don’t know, the weekly Pick-a-Poem post is when we choose a poem to feature here on the blog. Generally we find these poems thanks to Poetry Daily, a great site that features a new poem every day. So if you want to see more new poetry, be sure to check out the site! Today we feature Origin Blues: An Elegy by Eliot Khalil Wilson.
According to his bio page on Poetry Daily, Eliot Khalil Wilson has written one collection of poetry, which is entitled The Saint of Letting Small Fish Go. His work has also appeared in various publications, including Ploughshares, The New England Review, and The Southern Review. He has also received several awards, such as a Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts and a Pushcart prize.
