Welcome!

I'm the author of two books: Tomato Girl, a novel published by Algonquin Books, and  Forms of Intercession, a book of poems published by Mayapple Press. My writing has appeared in numerous literary journals and has been nominated twice for the Pushcart Prize.

After many years spent working in mental health, writing and mothering now take up most of my time.  We also have a house full of animal companions that keep us all busy. I've listed a few rescue and activism groups under the heading, "Animals in Need." While these are not the only worthwhile organizations, they are among my favorites. I hope some of you will support these folks in their efforts to help animals.
 
I'd like to say a special thank you to an amazing photographer, Itzhak Ben-Arieh, for the use of his beautiful images. I selected several photographs to accompany my poems. I encourage you to visit his web site to see more of his work. (Please note: these images contain nudity.)

I hope you enjoy your visit through these pages.

All my best,

Jayne
