Today, I’m thrilled to feature American poet Carol Parris Krauss. As her email signature block describes, Carol is a “Mother.Teacher.Poet.” We all wear lots of hats, don’t we? It sounds like Carol has her priorities straight, and I have such admiration of that! Be sure to check out her full Bio below, and her collection Just a Spit Down the Road (Kelsay Books). Here is her powerful poem titled “The Grape Slips its Skin,” originally published by Story South. Thank you, Carol!   Carol Parris Krauss loves to use place and vivid imagery in her poems. Her work can be found in a variety of publications such as The SC Review, Louisiana Literature, Hastings’ Plainsongs, Broadkill Review, Story South, and Susurrus. She was honored to be recognized by the University of Virginia Press as a Best New Poet and her first book of poems, Just a Spit down the Road, was published by Kelsay Books in 2022.
