Kim Chinquee's Contact with the Wild is a collection of prose poems exploring themes of family, nature, memory, and healing. The poems weave together fragmented narratives, incorporating surreal imagery and dream sequences. Personal experiences, such as the protagonist's childhood on a farm and her father's schizophrenia, are interwoven with reflections on larger societal events, such as a devastating blizzard. The collection utilizes a stream-of-consciousness style to create a visceral and emotional reading experience. Many of the poems have been previously published in literary journals.
