Jessica Grant Poetry lies in the astonishing insights

lies in the astonishing insights and the conviction of truth to reality which inform every poem

What is particularly gratifying

‘In the mathematics of God/ there are percentages beyond one hundred

and socially sensitive touch that recalls Carol Shields

three-legged deer-like creatures and an array of idiosyncratic Toronto neighbours

Jessica Grant Poetry lies in the astonishing insightsJessica Grant, author of Making Light of Tragedy, is from St. Johns, Newfoundland, but loves all provinces and territories equally. She has lived in Toronto, Buffalo, Portland and Calgary. She is a proud member of Burning Rock, a group of very hip writers in St. Johns who kindly took her into their fold a few years ago. She has been a technical writer and a singer songwriter, but writing stories is by far the best job shes had.
