Kimberly Trusty

Kim can’t draw. Not even stick figures. Instead of letting this get her down she tries to write poems/plays/stories that use words to conjure pictures in her readers’ minds. She is determined to create work that is literary yet accessible. Writers need a bit of quiet to create, but Kim believes that some of her best work has arisen through collaboration with other people – both artists and non-artists. A few occasions in which she’s been able to put this collaborative spirit to work were at ArtsFest (with Roz Godard, IKON Gallery, 2005), Word Temple (Birmingham Repertory Theatre, 2005), and the Glasshouse (Chance Brothers Glass Factory Smethwick, 2006).
