Jenene Ravesloot is a deft chronicler of the grit and grace of our existence. The poems here show real nerve in both senses of the word: feeling and courage.

                    and Painter in a Savage Land (Random House, 2008)

I love these poems that give us a glimpse of the beauty and melancholy of a young woman's life. Each piece tells a story that's light and dark, playful and somber at the same time. Ravesloot's moving poems are vivid paintings in hues we've never seen.

I have often had the honor of hosting Jenene Ravesloot reading her poetry at Coffee Chicago. I think you will be dazzled.
