Testimonials

“I’m so excited to frame my poem in a big frame so that everyone can be intrigued to come up close to read it. I want people to see it in the entryway of the new home my partner and I will be buying. It describes us perfectly and that way our visitors will know who we are.”  -Shirley

“This is great! This is going in my bundle of anniversary gifts for my husband.” -Ed

“My cat who passed away, who was so special to me… this poem captures how I want to remember him.” -Gwendolyn

More about Jen’s poetry

Jen is a multi-disciplinary storyteller, writer, and performer in Los Angeles Area. You can read more of her writing on Medium.com.  Jen has been a frequent visitor of the open mic event at  Queer Slam when it was live at Akbar and when it has been a virtual community space.  A colleague described her poetry performance at this event as “a high-wire act.”

Most recently, Jen went to a beach party without her typewriter and wrote poems on the spot with pen and paper for new friends who wanted to express their personal journey with their creativity. With or without her 1950’s Olympia typewriter, Jen is an agile improvisor who can write a poem on the spot for any occasion.  Jen is part of a team of typewriter poets that do pop-up events around the Los Angeles area as part of PridePoets. If you have an event that would like to have 2 or more poets provide a “pop-up” event, Jen can coordinate the team of PridePoets to show up with our typewriters and give your event guests a unique custom poem as their party souvenir!

You can see some of her artistic endeavors and adventures with her dog on Instagram @jen.and.potato
