POET AND CREATOR OF CURIOSITIES

ABOUT THE WRITER

Jennifer Grant has lived many lives.
Since receiving a journalism degree from The University of Florida, she’s been a newspaper reporter-by-day and a comedy club waitress-by-night (no joke). She’s also been a community editor, a business editor and a travel/magazine editor. She spent time as a romance ghostwriter and seven years as a homeschool teacher. She’s answered phones and questions as an acupuncture office assistant. She’s taught gentle yoga, aerial yoga and something concerning the sky yoga. She’s even been certified to create therapeutic, aromatic tinctures.

​The one occupation that has never wavered is her preoccupation with words. She dabbles in prose and verse, particularly enjoying the border between them. Narrative and nature seem to be her choice vehicles on this writer journey.  

Jennifer's latest collection of poetry, Flower of Life in Three Movements, was published by Kelsay Books in July 2026. Her second collection of poetry, Dangerous Women, won the 2021 Blue Light Press Book Award and her first collection of poetry, Good Form, was published by Negative Capability Press in 2017.

She lives near The Swamp in Newberry, Florida where she contemplates wrestling gators as well as words.
 
JUNIPER'S TINCTURES

Besides being a creator of poetry and prose, Jennifer is a certified yoga instructor and certified aromatherapist. Juniper’s Tinctures (named for her childhood nickname), offers small-batch, kitchen-crafted recipes using ALL organic ingredients. 
 
As Jennifer has dealt with asthmatic issues her entire life, she understands the importance of finding aromas that are gentle and resonate with each client she serves.  

It's all about balance and well-being.
