Here’s an interview with Kimmy Walters in 2017 and a poem from that same era. It’s playful on a serious subject. She only wrote for a brief period and published a few books. You can find two of them here. I’ll review one of them at some point.
GOOD MORNING, I AM NOT GOING TO COMMIT SUICIDE TODAY
by Kimmy Walters
good morning,
I am not going to commit suicide today
so far two lovely things have happened
I ate freeze-dried strawberries reconstituted in whole milk
and I heard someone piss so intensely that I was able to imagine that
her body was hurling a liquid javelin
lately whenever I see an animal I wonder when its birthday is
two beautiful dogs ride the bus with me on a regular basis
I can’t commit suicide on a dog’s birthday my god
I just can’t
