Meet Jennifer
Poet ~ Educator ~ Coach
Lit-amorous, I'm on the perpetual quest to find the next amazing poem to read, savor and share. (Sound like you too? Subscribe to my newsletter, Poetry Inspired)
After twenty years writing and publishing fiction, I have recently "come out" as a poet, and I've been recently published in One Art Poetry & the Eunoia Review.
I live in a rural community in Northern California, on Pomo ancestral lands. An East Coast native, I love mild winters, anything Jane Austen, & the raucous coast of Sonoma County.
