Kimberly Trusty
Kimberly Trusty is a Canadian writer based in Birmingham. She arrived in England five years ago to study Colonial and Post-Colonial Literature at the University of Warwick. Whilst at university she was welcomed into the poetry scenes of Coventry and Birmingham and upon completion of her Masters degree, decided to settle in England and write full-time.
The author of a solo collection of poetry, Darker Than Blue (McGilligan Books, Toronto), Kimberly’s poems have also been anthologised in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom. As keen to perform as she is to publish, Kimberly has toured England with the spoken word shows Word Temple and Temptation, and has appeared as a guest artist at many venues nationwide, including the Ways with Words Festival in Dartington and Latitude Festival in Norwich.
Kimberly believes that whether it’s meant for performance or publication, good writing is the thing. She believes good writing tells truths that leave third degree burns on lips, eardrums and finger tips.
