Kaili Wallin, better known as Kai, is a 19-year old small town poet.  The arts have been her outlet for years, including dance, singing, and writing.  Amidst a hectic work schedule, poetry has been an escape. She aspires to be voice amongst her favorite artists Sabrina Denaim, Neil Hilborn, and Shane Koyczan. Her poems are often about of love, getting older, and finding new ways to cope with the often bumpy roller coaster of life. She’s currently assembling a collection of her poems in hopes of punishing a book.
