About the Author

Nancy K. Jentsch's chapbook Authorized Visitors (Cherry Grove Collections) and the collaborative chapbook Frame and Mount the Sky (Finishing Line Press), in which her poetry appears, were published in 2017. Since 2008, when she began writing, her work has appeared in both online and print journals such as Amethyst Review, Eclectica, Panoply, Tiferet Journal, and Zingara Poetry Review, and in numerous anthologies. In 2020 she received an Arts Enrichment Grant from the Kentucky Foundation for Women to work on this collection. She has retired after thirty-seven years of teaching at Northern Kentucky University and finds a bounty of inspiration for her writing in her family and their rural home.
