Kimberly D. Robinson - a 43 year-old African-American of the Philadelphia, PA area - shares with us a stunning collection of poetry entitled "Saxophone Love". The self-described "mixed bag of talent" was first introduced to poetry at age eleven and has continued writing throughout the years with brief periods of hiatus.
"My early pieces (composed of poetry, plays sketches and paintings) were destroyed in an apartment complex fire," says the multi-faceted artiste. Definitely a loss for the artistic world, but the incident most likely inspired another depth to Ms. Robinson's work.
Asked about other artistic endeavors, a very eager Kim says, "I paint, draw, do calligraphy & etchings... [One day] I plan to create a piece of art to compliment all my poetry writings."
With a sly look in her eye and coyness on her mind, Kim makes the interviewer smile the infamous million-dollar smile, "I am getting back into playing the piano [as well]. Sure I sing... In the car and the shower." Don't we all?
Kim brings to the table a wealth of educational experience, with a BS in Geology, Astronomy & Physics, as well as a BS in Geoscience Secondary Education, an MS in Science Education, an MS in Educational Leadership, and a PhD in Urban Education. "Eventually I would like to write, illustrate, and publish African-American children's books about the fascinating world of Science," declares Kim. And with such an arsenal of education backing up the desire, I believe it's highly accomplishable.
All science aside though, I sure am pleased to showcase Kim's stunning series of poetry called "Saxophone Love" which includes parts V, VI, VII & VIII. Please do enjoy her artistry!
