For Sale: Kim Hunt’s Poetry
Kim Hunt’s Publication of “Capillary Influences”
Kim’s third volume of approximately 200 sonnets and villanelles, entitled “Capillary Influences” (complete with glossary) will be published (with a perfect binding) this November. Kim has partnered with Joe Nica, a local artist. Joe’s paintings use abrupt color and visual disturbance to introduce each of the eight sections comprising this coffee table sized publication. These paintings combine with Kim’s poetry to express and depict insight in areas not easily explained. Kim’s work has been reviewed and praised by historians, musicians, CEO’s, attorneys, and fellow writers. This volume is privileged to include five of these testimonials.
