Poetry Contest Manager: Linzi Garcia
Linzi Garcia plays with language in poetry, essays, book reviews, and publicity materials. Her full-length poetry collection Thank You was published by Spartan Press in 2018. She and her partner Jase Buck co-authored a chapbook, Live a Great Story (Analog Submission Press 2019), about their short but impactful time in England. Most recently, she co-authored a travel poetry collection While Away, with Kevin Rabas and Brett Seaton.
Linzi has a BA and MA in English and currently attends law school at Washburn University. Linzi also currently works as the Poetry Press Editor and Publicist for Meadowlark Press.
Linzi became involved with KAC after building friendships with members across the state, particularly in Salina, Emporia, and Lawrence. She served as the 2020 free verse poetry contest judge and, after joining the club in 2021, served as poetry contest manager in 2021 and 2022.
