Kim has enjoyed writing poetry since she was a child. She remembers, as a young adult, her grandmother telling her she wrote beautiful letters and had a way with words. Later in life, this memory would be a catalyst for sitting down and writing her memoir. This led to writing and publishing two more books. After sharing some of her poetry with family members, she was encouraged to write this book of poetry, her first collection. For Kim, poetry is a healing and creative expression. Kim has been an educator for over twenty years, working with students socially and emotionally.
What happens when all of your children move out? This collection of poetry is a healing journey in self-discovery. It takes the reader through various stages of grief, insight, hope, and new beginnings. A poignant, inspired, and assured debut collection which transfixes the reader while resonating deeply.The authenticity of these poems reveals the real experiences and raw emotions one feels when their child has moved on. The writing is emotive and powerfully beautiful in its expression of the truth and confrontation one feels about having an empty nest.
As the Dust Settles is an archetypal series of poems that explore love, letting go, and optimism leaving the reader with hope and encouragement. The breadth of poetry covers a diverse sequence of subjects that compel the reader to form an attachment to Kim’s writing that surpasses association. Kim’s collection possesses a calming resonance that is rooted in the everyday, making episodic poems from her life seem prescient.
