She has been published in a number of poetry journals and anthologies and is also an accomplished playwright. Hen Run, an imprint of Grey Hen Press in the UK, published a collection of Jennifer’s poems – Backlit – in January 2019. Grey Hen Press specializes in works that give a voice to the experiences, observations and insights of older women. The aim of the press is to share new and exciting works by older women writers whose voices are not always captured in mainstream publishing. These are works that gleam with humour, style, resilience and wit.
