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. Check out Kim’s website here: https://kimhiles.com/
