Ghost in the Stalks

In her new earth-shattering poetry collection, Kimberly boldly confronts identity, history, politics, and language at the intersections of colonialism, intergenerational trauma, and conflict. The poems are both visually stunning and form-defying, breathing life into language that is delightfully haunting and becomes the "ghosts in the stalks". The poems' etymological focus and brave willingness to return to the source of trauma redefines and re-appropriates what it means to return to one's roots and forces the dead past into a painful present.
