A Wake in the Current is the result of a collaboration between writer Kyle Feldman and visual artist Jon Reischl that began amidst the uncertainty and anxiousness of pandemic isolation and has continued sporadically over the months and years that followed.

Jon Reischl
Jon Reischl is a visual artist and designer specializing in mixed-media and oil painting. He has shown work locally in the Twin Cities and the greater metro area as well as regionally at venues throughout the midwest. Most recently, he completed a four month residency/retrospective occupying the main floor galleries at TractorWorks in Minneapolis.

He graduated from St. Paul’s College of Visual Arts (RIP), with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. After college, he co-founded Rock9 Art Studio, with fellow CVA alumni Jeremy Szopinski and Ed Charbonneu. Rock9 Art Studio is located in a warehouse in the heart of St. Paul’s Creative Enterprise Zone. 

He lives on the east side of St. Paul with his lovely wife Debra and their trusty beagle. 

Kyle Feldman
Kyle Feldman is a writer based in Minneapolis, Minnesota.  He believes in the power of words as divine vibrational energy to heal and transform our inner and outer worlds; even subtle changes in the way we think can manifest powerful new realities.  He mostly writes in drips and drizzles, often while dancing or hiking, and then collages it altogether another time.  He lives with a superb cat named Rajah Federer, enjoys too many blessings to count, and tries to help other people everyday.  This is his first poetry project.
