Kevin Powers was born and raised in Richmond, Virginia. He has been a finalist for the National Book Award and a recipient of the PEN/Hemingway Award, the Guardian First Book Award, the Prix Littéraire du Monde Prix Étranger, and the Grand Prix de Littérature Américaine, among other prizes, and his books have been translated into more than a dozen languages. He was a James A. Michener Fellow in Poetry at the University of Texas at Austin from 2009-2012 and has held a Guggenheim Fellowship in Fiction. A US Army veteran of the Iraq war, he lives on Florida's First Coast with his family.

Kevin Powers has conjured out of the mists of the Virginia mountains a novel of extraordinary beauty and power. Children of the Wild is about many things--the natural world, family, friendship, money, and war, most definitely war--but ultimately it's about the endless ways love finds to break us and make us. Powers can write; we've all known that since his era-defining debut The Yellow Birds, and Children of the Wild demonstrates his continuing rare mastery on every page.
