Poet Bio: Jess, a singer song writer and guitarist, lives with a curse. She wonders, would completing confessional poetry day after day delight the soul and blot out the demons? Having, through religious exposure, found confessionals lonely, can she dissuade the doleful butterflies of adverse possibility?

Published in Whurk Magazine & The Echo World Magazine, Jess is up to the challenge of writing more, creating more, and, in the long run, publishing her work. "I am young," she remarks as she types, "and I believe in my abilities." In her work one will hopefully sense the poetic influences of Nikki Giovanni, Robert Frost, Charles Bukowski and numerous musicians.


Your support gives me vital inspiration as I write for thirty days this month.

Tupelo Press provides the canvas, I bring my words, accompanied by other fine poets, writing thirty poems in thirty days, all ours to edit and submit as we wish. 30/30 poems have been taken by over 90 journals and featured in over 40 published chapbooks, all so Tupelo Press can keep publishing exquisite and diverse voices that might never be heard otherwise.

Every dollar gives me confidence to write more, and helps the press place more poems in gorgeous books. Help me to help this distinguished press. Give today!
