After working in education for thirty years as a professor, mentor, public-school teacher, and librarian, Kim now spends as much time as possible on the reading, writing, and sharing of poetry. Terrapin Books recently published her first collection, The Mayapple Forest. Her poems appear in many journals and anthologies, in print and online, recently including SWWIM Every Day, Poetry Ireland Review, Artemis, and Not the Time to be Silent: Collected Works. Kim volunteers weekly for the international group, Cultivating Voices LIVE Poetry, creating graphic designs and assisting with programming because she believes in the poetic community. She loves to garden, walk, and connect with nature, next door to Shenandoah National Park, where she lives with her husband, Doug, her hound dog Sadie, and her calico, Miss Daisy.
