Hanging Loose Authors
Karen Kovacik
Karen Kovacik is the author of two previous collections, Metropolis Burning and Beyond the Velvet Curtain. Her translations of Polish poetry include Krystyna Dąbrowska’s Tideline and Jacek Dehnel’s Aperture, a finalist for the PEN Award for Poetry in Translation. She is Professor of English at Indiana University Indianapolis.



From loose pages to issue 119 of our magazine, an anthology of over 100 HLP poets, over a decade of the Loose Award for translated works, the Founders prize for first book in its third year, and a bunch of great books in the works, we couldn’t have come this far without you.
