Kirkland Butler is a poet and writer from Norfolk, Virginia. He is graduating this year as a Batten Fellow from the Virginia Wesleyan University Honors College, as an English major and Classics minor. Along the way, he picked up several classes in English, Classics and Philosophy, along with a spot on The Marlin Chronicle as a Copy-Editor. He tried juggling them, but got very tired very quickly. This experience has thoroughly prepared him to be the Fiction Co-Editor of The Fishbowl Review. (We hope. He told us he was a creative writing major. And we know poets and writers are known for their unimpeachable trustworthiness.)
