Onion Man is Kathryn Mockler's debut poetry book first published in 2011. Onion Man is a sparse and intense series of linked poems told from the point of view of an eighteen-year-old girl working for the summer at a corn-canning factory. The poems follow her relationships with her factory job, her boyfriend, her alcoholic mother, her terminally ill grandfather, and the man who every night “peels an onion and eats it as if it were an apple.” Shortlisted for the ReLit Award.

Paid subscribers are invited to join me on Wednesdays and Fridays 10:00am to 11:45 am (EST) for group co-writing sessions until August 26, 2026. I provide a prompt for those who want one or you can work on your own projects. We write in three 25 minute sessions and share how it went after. Visit the Co-write Info page for more details. Note Fridays will start on July 24 and there is no co-write on July 15. Yes I will be doing this in the fall too.
