Jeanne Murray Walker’s poems triangulate between the cosmic and the domestic. She pairs astronomy and motherhood, Sunday school and the history of western thought. With fluid, commonsensical language, she awakens in her reader a sense of wonder and delight in the fullness of the universe.
Jeanne returned to writing poetry after receiving a Ph.D. in English. Her poetry appears in periodicals such as Image, Poetry, American Poetry Review, The Nation, The Georgia Review, and The Christian Century.
Jeanne serves on the Editorial Board of Shenandoah and teaches frequent workshops throughout the United States and abroad. The mother of two children, she lives in Philadelphia and teaches at the University of Delaware.
These poems were recorded at the 2007 Glen Workshop.
