Jennifer Gurney lives in Colorado where she teaches, paints, writes and hikes. Her poems have been published internationally, including 12 books. Jennifer’s poems have been: winners in two international contests, turned into a choral piece and performed, printed on a yard sign in Washington, D.C., shown on movie theater screens in Australia, given out for free through the Rx Poetry project and printed on a sign on a bus in Racine, Wisconsin. Although she has written her whole life, at 62, she has finally known enough joy and enough sorrow to write a half-way decent poem, on occasion.
