Hi. My name is Mary-Kim.

I’m a writer, artist, educator, and higher education administrator.

I’ve written two books, Litany for the Long Moment, a memoir, and The Fish & The Dove, a collection of poems.

I was born in Korea, adopted, and raised in a suburb of New York. Now I live in Rhode Island.

I currently serve as the Dean of the Faculty & Academic Affairs at Vermont College of Fine Arts in Montpelier. Previously, I was Associate Dean for Equity & Inclusion in Teaching & Learning, and before that, I taught in the Nonfiction Writing Program at Brown University.

I’m Senior Editor for Collaborative & Cross Disciplinary Texts at Tupelo Quarterly, and I welcome queries and submissions.

Occasionally, I write essays about books, or interview authors and artists I admire.

I send out a very infrequent email newsletter with chatter and updates about all of the above. Sign up or send me a note. I am happy to hear from you.

Thank you for visiting!
