Kevin McIlvoy

Kevin McIlvoy lives near the banks of the Swannannoa River. Though he grew up in the American Bottomlands, the woods and rivers of Western North Carolina are his true home. For decades he has served as faculty in the Creative Writing MFA Program at Warren Wilson College. His novel, At the Gate of All Wonder (Tupelo Press, 2018), is set in a part of the North Carolina Pisgah forest designated as “the Cradle of American Forestry.” His other published works include novels, a story collection, and a book of prose poems and short fictions, 57 Octaves Below Middle C.
