Welcome to kevinkrogh.com
In the year 2000, after two and a half decades of reading, teaching, and writing about other people's poetry, I at last ventured to write my own. The result was a one hundred sixty-eight verse narrative poem I called ”The Willow Switch", a Christmas Eve gift to my wife Nancy and our six children. I've been writing poetry ever since. When I realized that the stories told in two of my poems could be better told in a novel, I tried my hand at fiction, and a second passion took over my life (a portion of it, anyway). Four of my novels have been published, and a fifth is in the works. The Doll in McCallaway's Store, The Willow Switch, Because He Makes Her Cry, and The Pigpen are available for purchase. Click on the novels link to learn more about them and on the ordering info link to learn how you can order your copies (There is special pricing for book clubs). They make great gifts.
Before you buy, I invite you to visit the novels page where you can read the first-hundred pages of any of my first four novels.
The poetry link invites you to explore my poetry. Click on the thoughts and reflections link for short essays on a variety of topics, including comments about individual poems and answers to often-asked questions. If you find what you read worthwhile, visit often; I add new poems and essays as I write them. If you would like me to speak to your church or community group, go to the speaking engagements link. To make comments or suggestions, click on the contact us link. I 'd be pleased to hear from you and I promise to answer. And if you'd like to write a review for one of the "Read what others have to say about the novel" pages, you may also submit your review(s) through the contact us link.
