Jill Spisak turned to her passion for poetry to work her way through the death of

her long time lover Sandra Hamer. Finally these poems are collected into a book,

Witness Cremation, which has just been published by Karios Literary Magazine.

She has an earlier chapbook, Rachel, and has published poems in various

journals. She has poems forthcoming from Sinister Wisdom and a memorial issue

of Common Lives/Lesbian Lives. She is scheduled to feature at Cliterati an open

mic at Charis Books and More in September 2023. She reads at open mics

around Atlanta and is often found at ArtsXchange workshops, slams, and mics,

and at Theresa Davis’ Java Speaks Virtual Open Mic where she has also featured.

She loves open mics which keep her writing consistently, and slams where she

hones her performance of her poems.

She lives on a lake, and crews on other people’s sail boats for the calm joy of

sailing.

Don't miss this opportunity to share your work and connect with fellow artists in the community. We look forward to seeing you there! Thanks to Poets &Writers for their support.If you are interested in featuring please check out artsxchange.org
