Kim Trainor
Kim Trainor is a Canadian poet. Trainor was the recipient of the Fiddlehead's 2019 Ralph Gustafson Prize[1] and the Malahat Review's 2013 Long Poem Prize.[2]
Trainor's work is particularly concerned with grief and memory. Her first book Karyotype was published by Brick Books in 2015. George Elliot Clarke described the book as a "recollection of the organized violence that is war and/or tyranny" and noted that the book's focus on remembrance placed her in the lineage of World War One poet John McCrae.[3] Trainor's second book Ledi[4] was published by Book*hug. Focusing on the controversial excavation of the Siberian Ice Maiden, the book continues the poet's elegiac themes.[5] The book was a finalist for the 2019 Raymond Souster Award presented by the League of Canadian Poets.[6] Her most recent work has focused on ecological grief and resilience.[7]
