Kimmy’s fourth collection, “in cars” was published by turnstone press in the spring of 2007. She’s currently working on her fifth full collection, “BAnd Box at the Last Chance Saloon”, and a collection of flash fiction, unstageable drama, poetry, intrigue, top-secret dossiers, files marked “for your eyes only”, and witty repartée starring james bond.

She has four books of poetry, all with Turnstone press, Winnipeg, and one chapbook, “Aberrant lounges” with the Martian press, calgary. She holds a first class honours degree in english from the university of Alberta, and is the first and only poet laureate of Humboldt collegiate Institute in humboldt, Saskatchewan.

Kimmy recently finished a terrific gig as Parkland regional library writer in residence (a project of the writers guild of Alberta and the Library association of alberta) and spent her time between march and may 2008 on the road to rural libraries giving workshops, doing readings, and mentoring to up-and-coming writers near and far (but mostly far).

Kimmy was the 2005 international guest poet for the dead good poets society in Liverpool, UK, where she was invited to launch her third book, “fake paul” onstage at the cavern club in mathew street.

her work has been published across canada, and in the u.k. she’s been translated into chinese, and her poetry has been broadcast on cbc radio, radio canada international, bravo!, book tv, access, and canadian learning television.

Our heroine was born nine months and one day after the beatles appeared on “The Ed Sullivan Show” for the first time, which explains a great deal.

stu and Kimmy have made one hell of a team for the past 23 years. They have no kids, no pets, and are thinking of throwing out their cactus. it demands entirely too much of their time and attention.
