On the Path: Reflections of a younger self by Kim W. Hunter

 


“Kim's poetry is infused with diverse experiences
 in social work, hospice, homelessness, human rights,
 HIV education and teaching.
 
On the Path: Reflections of a younger self
 
On the Path: Reflections of a younger self is a compilation of more than two dozen poems written during Mr. Hunter's younger years accompanied by narrative reflections on the inspiration for much of the poetry as he navigated early life through loss, love, abuse, and work as a bisexual and gay identified person. The heartfelt poems Kim has written are infused with the experiences of the poet's diverse background which includes counseling and social work, hospice care, homelessness, human rights advocacy, politics, HIV education, teaching in the United States and Southeast Asia, and work with people facing life challenging illnesses including cancer and hemophilia. Mr. Hunter has a passion for expressing his voice through the writing of children’s books and poetry. Kim is currently hunkered down in Cambodia during the CoViD-19 Pandemic after serving most of the past eight years as an English Teacher and Tutor with children and young adults from poor families living in the rural and mountainous areas of Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos.

About the Author
 
They've been a long time coming and now it's time to get the poetry, ancestry stories, and more bilingual children's books out there! (Be sure to search for my "Teacher Kim" Author Central page for a look at some simply designed journals for recording your ancestry research and preserving your own stories and memories for future generations!)

I'm currently hunkered down in Cambodia during the CoViD-19 Pandemic after teaching English most of the past 8 years in Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos. I'm from the United States and have a deep appreciation for my time in Hawai'i. My Master's Degree is in Social Work. Most of my experience is in the fields of hospice, aging, LGBT advocacy, homelessness, HIV education, teaching, and serving people facing life-challenging illnesses like cancer and hemophilia.

All sales from books help me to assist students and young people from the rural and mountainous areas of Cambodia, Laos and, hopefully soon, in the Philippines. I am extremely grateful for your support.
