Kacie Prologo
Fiction | Kent State University | Class of 2021
Garwood City is a place you’d only want to visit in fiction, populated with bottom-shelf drunks and grave robbers, a shotgun-toting Momma with one good eye, a zombie or two, and the actual devil. Fortunately for us, it does exist in Kacie Prologo’s intoxicating – and sometimes intoxicated -- fiction, a town, as she writes, 'with sloe gin budgets and whiskey expectations.' Kacie has voice to burn, her pages cranking out gnarly metaphors, hard-bitten dialect, and rustic shards of description that pepper these short stories like buckshot from Momma’s gun. —David Giffels
