Jennifer Fair Stewart grew up running wild across midwestern acres, sojourned in cities, and now runs semi-respectably through southwestern desert suburbs. She has been working as a teacher for over twenty years, in addition to stints as a sales clerk, house cleaner, library assistant, janitor, secretary, and retreat speaker. As a child, she won her school’s annual competition for the Young Authors Conference twice and has been writing off and on ever since. Her poetry has been published or is forthcoming in Heart of Flesh, The Orchards, Quiet Diamonds, Crescendo, and Trampoline. Her chapbook Marginalia: An Interactive Book of Hours is forthcoming in 2024 with Orchard Street Press.
