What If You Fly?
What If You Fly is an experimental short film fusing music, poetry, and dance from both young and seasoned artists against the backdrop of one of the oldest public art museums in the United States.

2017 performance of ‘Love Suicide’ from Don’t Bite the Apple, Eve
Don’t Bite the Apple, Eve is the first collection of poetry by Kimolee Eryn. It delicately infuses prose with life experiences, calling into question the duality of spirituality and the realities of living by example. Don’t Bite the Apple, Eve evokes responses to the elements of life that are rarely shared, elements that feel less polished and more behind the scenes. It' offers a space to unpack the million little moments that add up to the fullness of life in ways that grants the reader/ listener permission to join in on the excavation and process those tiny pieces of grief they never quite got around to.
Don’t Bite the Apple, Eve isn’t a book of poetry for women alone, but a ticket into the understanding of life from the perspective of a woman. There’s something for everyone.
The Don’t Bite the Apple, Eve audiobook is read by Kimolee Eryn over a gentle piano instrumental, intended to create a soothing listening experience.
