Overview

Sassy, sensitive, and searing poems by contemporary American poet Jan Wesley who died in 2025. These poems contain both lyric and narrative moments; feminist concerns as well as environmental. Here Wesley writes about men and women, about failed relationships, about her parents. Mostly set in Los Angeles, these are California poems in the best sense: light-filled, at times light-hearted, but, with a sniper's aim, always pointed toward truth.

Author Information

JAN WESLEY (February 1, 1950 - March 2, 2025) was the author of It Wasn't Always Like is, Only So Much, Living in Freefall, A Closeness of Vision, and Running Out of Altitude. Her poems appeared in Askew, Blue Mountain Review, e Iowa Review, Rattle, Spillway, Beyond Words, and anthologies, among others. Whether she was jumping out of airplanes, backpacking across Europe, or reading poetry on a rooftop, Jan was a radiant presence who hurtled fearlessly through her 75 years on earth and ultimately could not be bound by something as pedestrian as gravity.
