Ash Kilback is a poet, spoken word artist, and facilitator born and raised in the Canadian Prairies. 

Over the past decade, Ash has explored multiple facets of writing but poetry has been a life-long love of hers. In 2019, she began a journey of healing her nervous system from entrepreneurial burnout intertwined with layers of grief. With a desire to live more slowly, she began spending a lot of time out in nature going for long walks. This practice has been the guiding force in her return to writing poetry and helping people restore their relationship with nature. 

She writes on themes relating to nature, grief, spirituality, and the mystery of being alive. She is the founder of Poetry Outdoors, a Substack publication devoting to restoring and regenerating our relationship to the natural world through poetry. 

She is currently working on her debut poetry collection to be published in 2025.
