I enjoy Jennifer’s generative workshop because it provides a space for creative play in the company of a welcoming and supportive circle of writers.~Amy Riddell
Jennifer's critique workshop was a positive experience. Right at the outset, we were given a set of guidelines to refer to for our close reading of each others’ poems. These guidelines turned out to be valuable in examining my own writing. Throughout the sessions, edits were clearly (and gently) suggested. A supportive atmosphere was created and I came away feeling very nurtured.~Joanna C. Migdal
I've attended many of Jennifer's poetry Zoom classes and both enjoyed her presentations and the poems other attendees shared. Her thoughtful instruction and prompts bring out the best writing.~Connie Taylor
