Kim's feature story on natural resources and the Appalachian Trail, called "Resilient By Nature," appears in the Fall 2021 issue of AT Journeys magazine. This summer the Appalachian Trail Conservancy also asked Kim to muse about trail beauty for their blog: "Beauty is something we experience spiritually, intuitively, and viscerally."
Kim has been awarded a grant from Arlington County, Virginia, to write a book called The Arlington Table: A Celebration of Food, Family, and Community, a collection of essays about the ways food enriches people's lives, for which she will serve as the editor and a contributing writer. Three new memorials in Washington, D.C. are the focus of Kim's latest Landscape Architecture feature. Kim also recorded an "audio postcard" about the WWI Memorial for National Parks Traveler.

Kim wrote about the future of Confederate monuments on national parkland for National Parks Traveler. It broke the publication's record for comments. Kim talked about science writing and curiosity for the podcast Choose to Be Curious, which airs on WERA 96.7 FM in the Arlington, Virginia, listening area. Kim's poem, "Touching Down, Runway 1-19," appears in the anthology Written in Arlington, a book of poetry about Arlington, Virginia, published by Paycock Press. Kim's 2018 artist's residency at Acadia National Park resulted in this newly published essay, called "Regeneration." The science publication Undark published Kim's article about light pollution and astrotourism, which grew out of Kim's artist's residency at Acadia National Park. The piece was republished in Atlas Obscura and Mother Jones. |
