Jennifer’s contribution to the Literary Festival is through the spoken word of storytelling, both in the aural tradition, and in some of her own writings, which include poems. She studied storytelling at Emerson College and through the Society for Storytelling, and has recently been studying a contemporary approach to poetry writing with the Poetry School. She is the contact for the monthly U3A poetry group in Lyme Regis.

She likes to share all this in the intimacy of sitting around a table, and in the production of small hand-made books incorporating her textile work, some of which will be on show.
