Jean Janzen, What the Body Knows, published
July 21, 2015Jean Janzen's latest book of poetry, What the Body Knows, is the 12th book in the Dreamseeker Poetry series published by Cascadia Publishing Company.
“Jean Janzen addresses her treasured topics—desire, mystery, language, family and heritage, music, embodied spirituality—with confidence and grace. ‘Write it, the hunger and the song,’ says one poem. And she does, brilliantly. Janzen’s vision has never been clearer; her words have never confessed more truth. This book took over 80 years to write, and its final, passionate message is “mercy,” a resounding ‘Yes.’”
