Jessica Wiseman Lawrence's verse encompasses an unflinching glimpse into bleak realities while wrapped in tantalizing imagery and glimmering with nuanced hope. Her poems are "trees edged with time" - they stand proud in their stark display of the decaying aspects of life. Reverberating through her verse is a sense of utter humaneness, where she mines a difficult past in order to create an empathetic alignment with the present. These poems are gently quaking with an elegant rage. -Alison Ross, Editor Clockwise Cat Jessica Wiseman Lawrence grew up on a farm in rural central Virginia then studied creative writing at Longwood University. Her recent published work is in Stoneboat, Clockwise Cat, Acumen, Cease Cows, and Yellow Chair Review's print anthology.
