Original poems and ink on paper artwork exploring the experience of being human from the vantage point of middle life, motherhood and a global pandemic. Jess Weitz has published 3 books of poetry and one hybrid lyrical essay.

A play in 3 parts: The Oracle telling the Homeric tale out of time; The Dreamer weaving the historical tale through now; and She, the mythical female storyteller. I have merged the female identities of my family stories into a single SHE to emphasize the repeated nature of their experiences.

Selected poems by Jess Weitz, written between 2024-2026. Exploring climate crisis, aging, and a deep sense of place. Jess Weitz has written three books of petry and is a multidisciplinary artist living in Marlboro, Vermont.

This collection of poems is alternately bawdy, touching, and profound. The honesty at which the poet looks at motherhood, depression and the wonder of the natural world gives her writing a sense of youth and newness, without the detritus of social convention the rest of us pick up along the way. She engages in the question what does it mean to be human in this tender, wild world.
