Dylan Krieger: the poet

1990 –

Dylan Krieger (born 1990): settled up from the same unresolved list, at compact size. Her publisher's biography gives the tie its own flourish: born in South Bend on 6 March 1990, "baptized thrice, and graduated summa cum laude from the University of Notre Dame" — the B.A. in English and philosophy in 2012, with profiles giving South Bend as hometown — before an M.F.A. at Louisiana State University. Her first collection, Giving Godhead (Delete Press, 2017), was named by the New York Times the best poetry collection of its year and a 100 Notable Book, and the collections have followed steadily, eight in all through No One is Daddy (2026). She is the granddaughter of the historian Leonard Krieger. The entry is short because the documented tie is the birth and the formation — Notre Dame, in this city, to summa cum laude — and because a living poet's record is still being written. A living person; the entry states the public record.
