“Writing a book of poetry is like dropping a rose petal down the Grand Canyon and waiting for the echo.” – Don Marquis
Jennifer Schwartz works for the Salmon Creek Journal. She is a dedicated member who has a genuine interest for poetry. Not only does she do an excellent job in editing poetry, but she also works to coordinate events put on by the journal itself. She looks forward to the expansion of the Performance Arts Section of the journal with more submissions this year. In particular, she also aspires to see an increased variety in what is submitted. Jennifer loves all art forms, but she is most passionate about poetry and looks forward to reading and selecting the poetry submissions again this term.
