Help me celebrate the publication of my chapbook Katherine of Aragon: A Collection of Poems (Finishing Line Press, 2016) and my forthcoming chapbook Notations: The Imagined Diary of Julian of Norwich (Red Bird Chapbooks, 2017) by inviting me to your bookstore, living room, garden, ruin bar, driveway, field, dairy, winery, factory—well you get the picture— almost anywhere—for a fun evening of story telling and poetry. I’ll even bring the wine!

“The genius of Alice Jennings’ chapbook Katherine of Aragon: A Collection of Poems is that the poet has found a form and the words to bridge the span of years between 1485 and 2015 to remind us that Katherine’s abuse at the hands of her husband, Henry the VIII, is yet the fate of too many women, even in this 21st century, and that the empathy we feel for her through Jennings’ seventeen artful poems must be as strong as any we feel for our own mothers, sisters, daughters, friends, and neighbors, whatever the circumstances of their suffering. The genius of this exceptional collection is that the poet has found the exact form and words to say just that.”

I am so flattered to be learning with you – I am starting the Canterbury Tales – I cannot see how we will finish it all in that period of time but I am psyched for what time we have and want to continue to be your student in whatever you teach –
Regards – Judy Meibach – jmeibach@gmail.com
I am loving this more than ever – and I am truly appreciative – I was wondering what you had on the agenda for 2016 – I have already registered for the next two salons
Thank you Judy. For 2016, I am planning on Os Lusiades, a Portuguese epic; Dante’s Purgatorio; and The Kalevala, a Finnish epic.
I am so psyched = I love to read so much – because of a lot of reasons, reading has become a way of solace for me – and it is so hard to find people who like to do that – men think I am overly intellectual and are often intimidated by that
