Kim McNealy Sosin is a retired university professor of economics who eagerly took up writing poetry and photography in retirement, making her a “new poet” in her seventies. She loves to create ekphrastic poetry using her own travel photographs. Her poems and photographs have appeared in publications including Raw Art Review, Fine Lines (poems and several cover photos), Failed Haiku, Voices from the Plains, Verses from the Plains (several poems and cover design), Landscape Photography Magazine, The Heron’s Nest, The Good Life Review (poem and cover photo), Wanderlust Journal, Ekphrastic Review, and Sandcutters. She published her first poetry chapbook, Not Quite on Grand Avenue: Poems of the Early Years, which explores the challenges and joys of growing up as a young girl in a rural town in the forties and fifties. Her second chapbook is coming out in the fall with poems by a co-author Janet Rives and Sosin’s photographs of France. Reflections of France: Images and Poems.
