Jeanie grew up in St. Louis. She and her husband, Andy, lived part time in Cambria for several years before moving to San Luis Obispo in 1997.
Greensfelder is the author of three books of poetry: “Biting the Apple”, “Marriage and Other Leaps of Faith.” and “I Got What I Came For.” Her poems have been featured on the public radio show“The Writer’s Almanac with Garrison Keillor” and in former U.S. poet laureate Ted Kooser’s column, American Life in Poetry and Poetry Foundation’s Poem of the Day.
Through her poetry, she seeks to understand herself and others on this shared journey, filled, as Joseph Campbell wrote, with sorrowful joys and joyful sorrows.
A retired psychologist, she volunteers at Hospice of SLO County. She served as poet laureate for San Luis Obispo County during 2017,18.
In addition to her roles a poet and psychologist, Jeanie enjoys photography and offers a link to some photos on this website.
