Hello

Jeanice grew up on a small farm in Kansas, which is where her proclivity for writing about nature, especially birds, trees, blue skies, and empty, lonely space (both interior and exterior) began. 

Her love of language was instilled in her by her mother and grandmother when she was just a little girl, and it is still their voices singing out lines of poetry and prose, measured and lyrical, that invokes the rhythm that still beat, beat, beats within her today. 

A few years ago Jeanice and her husband, Tim, moved back home to live on the family farm where she grew up. Her days are spent working with her husband on the farm where they enjoy gardening, making good food, and caring for their many critters. 

She also shares her love of literature and language with her students at universities located in both Kansas and Oklahoma where she teaches composition and poetry classes, and is affectionately known by her students as Prof. J. 

However, she spends most of her time writing poetry and stories, and taking photos of flowers, trees, and those long prairie horizons.
