I'm happy to announce that the collaborative book of poetry titled Delight Is a Field, by Donelle Dreese, Karen George, Nancy K. Jentsch, and Taunja Thomson, has just been released by Shanti Arts, available at: https://shantiarts.co/uploads/files/jkl/JENTSCH_FIELD.html










"Delight Is a Field 
unfolds a world of women exploring, pondering, celebrating, and reimagining their connection to natural, wild places (field, meadow, prairie, wetland, ocean) and what inhabits them (celestial bodies, animals, plants, and fungi). These poems reveal the complexity and duality of women's lives filled with discord, chaos, longing, worry, loss accompanied by love, wonder, reverence, mystery, and magic that echoes the seasons’ cycles of change."


I had poems recently published on page 49 of Tipton Poetry Journal, and in Verse-Virtual
