Celebrating the release of her debut poetry collection "Fire on a Circle," Kim takes us on a journey through her verses that span the realms of survival, self-discovery, and a profound connection to her ancestors and the verdant landscape of Vermont. "Fire on a Circle" is more than a poetry book; it's a deep exploration of life's fires — the challenges we face to become our true selves. Crafted with care in free verse, verse monologue, and ancient Nordic formats, Kim's poems resonate with sharp discoveries about the dangers of the world and the passion for connection. Supported by years of poetic and runic studies, this collection intertwines tales of her family's matriarchs, battles against addiction, and pagan practices, presenting a rich tapestry of spiritual exploration. In this episode, Kim shares the inspiration behind her poignant work, reflecting on the power of poetry to traverse the fires of existence and emerge with a deeper understanding of oneself. Join us as we delve into discussions of Kim's artistic journey, her contributions to Vermont's literary scene, and the impactful themes woven throughout "Fire on a Circle."
