Jessica Heron Poetry

From NYC’s Mafia Borough, Jessica has lived in north, central, and south Jersey. Yes, central Jersey exists. No, not *that* South Beach.

Currently she is an MFA student in Cedar Crest College’s Pan-European MFA program in Creative Writing, a poetry reader and editorial board member for Nimrod International Journal and an educational guide to incarcerated students with College Guild. Formerly she was an accent coach, radio DJ, international backpacker, wife that one time for that one year, lifeguard / hero, church choir singer, bus person, sensitive document translator, but always, always, your friend.

Jessica is a graduate of the Fine and Performing Arts Center NJ, Rutgers University, and The New School. Such educational achievements put her in league with the devil and so far so good. She enjoys long walks on the beach and is interested in sex and death, horror and comedy, and the surreal, in poetry and in all things.
