I Got What I Came For, Penciled In, 2017 – Purchase at Amazon

Jeanie_book“Witty and wise, these well-crafted poems describe one woman’s life-long search for meaning from early childhood to anticipation of the inevitable coup de grace. Jeanie Greensfelder shares her journey with tender acceptance of her many selves, her flaws and achievements, loves and losses, and we respond with deep pleasure because we recognize her story as our own.”  —Margaret Van Every, author of A Pillow Stuffed with Diamonds, Saying Her Name, and holding hands with a stranger

biting-the-apple-website-size “In Biting the Apple, a collection of 50 poems, Jeanie Greensfelder explores her interior life as easily and fearlessly as one might explore the familiar interior of one’s own house. It’s like a freshly opened box of chocolates, begging us to read just one more. Greensfelder reveals herself in such a way that we can see our own souls reflected in hers.” – Susan Stewart, Say It Write

 

 

 

 

 

 

Marriage and Other Leaps of Faith, Penciled In, 2015 – Purchase at Amazon

website-size“These poems move…through the perils, perplexities and delights of marriage.. all the way to those first intimations of mortality, when Greensfelder confronts that ‘stranger…in the mirror’ she has become: ‘I look after her as best I can / since she masquerades around town / and pretends to be me.’ Reading this book reminded me, as the best poetry does, just how important it is that we pay attention during our little journey here.” — George Bilgere
