About this listen

In this episode of Detroit Creatives Unplugged, host Jacob Plante sits down with poet Christina Kallery to explore her hauntingly beautiful world of narrative poetry. Born and raised in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Christina shares how her journey—from Manhattan's bustling streets to Detroit's vibrant culture and now Ann Arbor's creative community—has shaped her voice as a poet.

Christina dives into her collection, Adult Night at Skate World, now in its second edition, reading select pieces that showcase her unique blend of narrative storytelling and eerie magic. She also opens up about her creative process, her inspirations, and the poets who have influenced her most, including John Keats and Walt Whitman.

Listeners will hear firsthand why her work has been praised by Jim Daniels, who described her poetry as “brilliant images—packed tight, one after another—that create friction, throwing off glorious sparks of insight and understanding.”

Available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Target, Walmart, and more, Christina’s collection is a must-read for poetry lovers. Don’t miss this enchanting conversation that offers a glimpse into the mind of one of Southeast Michigan’s most compelling poets.
