Klecko is an award-winning poet and the author of seven books. He has been featured in the New York Times, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, St. Paul Pioneer Press and Next Avenue, a digital publication of PBS.

Art is probably the only thing that can save the world. It gives us hope. In art, there is no right and there is no wrong – it’s your own personal connection.”

– Klecko
