About Kimberly Olmtak Gomes

Kimberly Olmtak Gomes (Kim) is from Suriname and is a teacher in English and German. Now that she is retired, Kimberly has taken up her favourite hobby, reading and writing poems in English as well as in her native language, Dutch. Inspired by her sister and her aunt, who writes haiku in Dutch, Kimberly got a keen interest in writing haiku herself. She also writes haiga and rengay. The latter, in collaboration with acclaimed author Christina Chin.

A haiku

bottom of the river seen under frost –
shadows of still pebbles

This column serves as a curated archive and digital art gallery on LatinosUSA, showcasing the intersection of written verse and modern multimedia.
Unlike the general submission desks at latinosenglishedition.blog, this specific space offers a regular showcase of:
  • Short-form video poems
  • Traditional haiku and haiga
  • Tan-renga linked-verse collaborations created with writing peers from around the world.
The Creative Philosophy & Process

Every video and graphic forms a visual dialogue. Human-authored poetry enhanced with digital generative art tools. Created with a blend of classic verse and algorithmic design concepts.

Whether exploring the slow glide of a camera across a glistening visual canvas or sitting in the quiet spaces between lines of verse, this column explores a unique rhythm. Welcome to the journey.
