Lora Keller

Basketball is Lora’s current obsession. In fact, her first poetry collection, Meticulous Ardor: Meditations On Basketball and the Milwaukee Bucks, is devoted to it.  After growing up in Kaukauna, Wisconsin, Lora lived in New York City and Kansas City and now has made Milwaukee her home. After college, she was a scriptwriter, public relations executive, educator, small business owner, and property developer and now writes poetry full-time. Her poems are published widely and have earned numerous awards including a Pushcart Prize nomination. She also stitches fiber art using words, paper and fabric which has been exhibited and sold at many regional art galleries.
