Summary

Poet and publicist Kim Dower joins Zibby to discuss her fifth book of poems, I Wore This Dress Today for You, Mom, which helped her grapple with her mother's dementia and passing. The two talk about Kim's journeys as both a writer and a book publicist — as well as how the two roles inform each other — and what the catalyst was for her to return to poetry after nearly twenty years. Kim also shares some of her favorite poets and what inspired her to write a number of the poems in this collection.
