THE COSMIC POSSUM

Jane is a teacher, poet, and fiber artist from upper East Tennessee. (There is something east of Knoxville!) The Jesse Stuart Foundation published her book, Blood & Bone Remember, in January 2005. Blood and Bone Remember won the Poetry Book of the Year 2006 Award from the Appalachian Writers Association.  The Cosmic One is the inspiration for the name of a mythical Appalachian Trail hikers' hostel in Sharyn McCrumb's ballad novel, The Songcatcher. Baird Christopher explains it all!  Jane also served as Sharyn's NASCAR mentor for St. Dale.  (2005)

 Jane's newest book, Driving with the Dead, is here! The book  was a finalist for the Weatherford Award and won the Poetry book of the Year from the Appalachain Writers Aossciation for 2015.
