Join us to celebrate Lily Lalios’ term as Milwaukee Emerging Poet Fellow in the Project category! Lily’s project Over the Prairie//Under the Prairie is a yearlong series of free community poetry workshops, culminating in a print anthology. This winter solstice event will offer a chance to reflect on and enjoy the poetry generated by the workshop.
Lily Lalios is a writer based in Milwaukee who has been published in #EnbyLife Journal, Pitymilk Press, and VA Press. They also produced Apagimeni Literary Magazine, a compilation of poetry, essays, and visual art by and about the queer Greek American experience. Lily’s work made the long list for the 2024 SmokeLong Quarterly Award for flash fiction, and they were a finalist for the 2025 Genrepunk Haunting Award. Currently, Lily is part of a poetry anthology responding to Milwaukee’s Charles Allis Art Museum, and is the associate fiction editor of the Dodge Magazine.
