Cross Ties 4.20.15: Jenny Factor

Picture

the old life
returns on six legs, or
spins a musty web as it roosts over

a poison pot

                                                          
                                    from "Settling In" at Poets.org

There is so much wonderful writing coming from women in California and Nevada, I want to cross and cross here, but today I would like to point readers to Jenny Factor. Jenny was praised in her first award-winning collection, Unraveling at the Name, for, “making form sing with idiosyncrasy,” and I like that phrasing. Her use of form is striking and original, and integrated with content in a seamless, organic, surprising way.  She has a particular way of writing about motherhood, feminism, intimacy, solitude that reveals a life of deep consideration, the nuanced revelation of the everyday, and a clarity of emotion that is rare.   -- Jennifer K. Sweeney
