Jan Keough was born in Dorchester, a 6 square mile neighborhood of Boston, MA. These days she roves the Northeast corridor from Rhode Island to North Carolina and Florida with her husband, Kevin Keough. Important to them both is their meditation practice. This mindset influences and encourages her sense of humor! Life's only a dream, after all... She's been editor and co-founder of the Origami Poems Project which has been publishing and sharing free microchaps of original poetry since 2009. This is her first full-length collection. Several of the poems included here are published as OPP microchaps. Her poems have been read on Helen Burke's Leeds UK ELFM radio program. Her spoken essay, 'Mindfulness, ' is part of WRNI's This I Believe series. In 2017 she published her novella, "Jasmine Tea, a wandering," which can be found on Amazon. Her blogsite, jankeough.com, offers pithy insights and observations on life, dog escapes, and pigeon rescues-at-sea. See less
